Preview: Audi Q3

Behold the curvy and compact Q3, the latest addition to Audi’s off-roader line-up. Taking its place beside the imposing Q7 and the understated Q5, the Q3 is all set to rival the BMW X1 and MINI Crossman and make its mark in this market segment.

The Q3 was previewed by the Cross Coupe Quattro concept at the 2007 Shanghai Motor Show. The production model, while it shares its proportions with that show car, will borrow heavily from the flowing creases and clean surfaces of the Q5. The chassis is taken from VW, Audi’s parent company, more particularly from the Tiguan that bears the same size. The car is available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, which uses a Haldex-developed all-wheel drive set-up similar to the Tiguan.

The fact that it's essentially a VW Tiguan makes it that much more pointless.

Dude, the Q5 is not a Tiguan. A bunch of us on here already explained this to you I thought.
