Audi prepares to enter new niches, to boost its sales

According to the latest reports, it appears that Audi is preparing to enter new niches in order to boost its sales. First of all, Audi is going to launch the new A7 four-door coupe to compete with the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS and the Porsche Panamera. Then, the all-new Audi Q3 small crossover is going into production next year in Europe (the concept version will be unveiled in Paris), but the bad news is that this new car won’t come to the United States until 2013.

When did Audi ever say that they hate or dislike BMW? BMW has made digs at Audi, but I've never seen it the other way. It's the fanboys, such as you, that use the word hate.

I still don't understand how the A7 compete with the CLS when it's a 5 Series GT competitor.

As for the Q3 it's interesting that Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, etc have all stayed away from a small luxury SUV for the US. the X1 and Q3 will be interesting to see how it works out here in the US

The GLK and X3 are among the smaller sizes compared to the Q5 RX and RDX but not smaller than the X1 and this Q3

Why is it that you don't understand. Is it that "hatch-back door" messing you up in the mind? Can't get your mind wrapped around the ideal? Its okay, I understand. Given that it is not a bad car but rather nice looking "kinda conservative" model, it just doesn't stack up to the competition. I think we all need to wait until we see it in the flesh. Sike! What am i'm talking about. Wait for what?
