Audi to beat its target for A1 deliveries next year

interesting, since just last week all the articles about the A1 said sales have been surprisingly poor, that dealers and consumers were saying it's too expensive, that they cut back production and their sales forecasts as a result, and that they're going to start incentivizing them to move them.

And you believe everything you read on the internet is true?

no, but a quick search will show you all the articles about dealers complaining there's been a lot of consumer pushback about the price of the A1, stagnant sales, and upcoming incentives to move them. Now a week later you get an article saying Audi thinks the car is going to surpass their goals, which is a total 180. So I might not believe everything I read on the internet, but it seems pretty feasible that the first set of stories were accurate and now Audi is spinning it.

OK. Then you're free to choose the side of the story that makes you fell better.

I don't have a dog in this fight so I'm not basing anything on "what makes me feel better"'. I couldn't care less either way. But you dismissing dozens of independant stories about the A1 doing poorly, and instead supporting a single, interestingly timed follow up release from Audi, means you obviously do.

Audi is getting desperate for sales so they can fulfill their little dream to be number 1. The easiest way to get more sales is to go down market, but they never should have put the Audi badge on the polo.

Love the styling of this car. I find this and the Fiat 500 far more attractive than the MINI Cooper and BMW 1 series coupe.

The A1 looks horrible and like a girls car the Fiat 500 is cute a nice girls car. The BMW 1 series coupe looks nice IMO. The 1 series looks different from many small cars, thats a good thing in my world.
I like the look of the Fiat but would never buy one, i would like a 1 coupe because it looks good, drives fantastic and have a good size.

not a very good looking car
