New rendering of entry-level Audi

It better be badged as VW, otherwise I don't know what's the difference between these 2 no more.

It seems to me that it would be quite pointless to buy a BMW or Audi that costs double what a Versa or Fit would. I would be fine saving the money and not buying one of these little toys.

Why was audispy de-boosted? What could have possibly been considered offensive in his post? He's absolutely correct.

Just to clarify I did not do the de-boosting. I understand people may want luxury in a small car, and that makes sense. I guess I could have fine tuned my comment to explain that I wish they could make this small cars a little more appealing. They are roughly the size of a VW rabbit (fit, versa, etc.) so why not take an Audi A3, and chop part of the back off. It just seems the luxo brands are coming out with small car concepts that while good in their thought and approach, seem to lack in appeal cause they look way to stubby for what they are.

I couldn't agree more with Audispy.

The problem is that most Americans think that something has to be big to be luxurious.

Shutup bimmer, the A6 is superior to the 5 series.

Go look at the A1 concept car before opening your face, alright?

It included an iPhone-like device that controls all major functions of the car, and it can be integrated into the dash or taken out for phone use. It includes your music library and contacts, and Audi said there was a good possibility for production. It even comes in the color to match the car. That luxurious enough?

You obviously never sat in a B-class or 320i. Seeing as for example the 320i can be equipped the same way as an M3, so next you are probably gonna say the M3 is nowhere near anything luxurious?

problem is in different views of what is luxurious.

just a simple example: in USA, leather is regarded as luxurious. In Europe, that is far from truth.

Europe regards luxurious something that is very well built, has a polished design in and out, has above average materials, has a driving experience that connects with european needs (a bit more dynamic, firm suspension and at the same time, safety) plus a badge at the end.

and 3 series (and B class, or even A class, or audi a3 and so on) are regarded as entry luxurious vehicles that offer most of the stuff of the bigger brothers and bring more comfort, design, safety to tighter budgets.

They should create something similar to the Volvo C30, small, compact, good mileage, and a fun little car to toss around.

I think the C30 is actually a perfect representation of what an 'entry level' luxury car is - good looking, fun to drive, nice interior, good pieces of design inside and out, safe and comfortable.

It will be the slowest car in it's class just like all the other non "S" or "RS" Audis.

Audi builds the nicest cars but they nuder them with weak underpowered engines. Next!
