Audi's Rumored Q Junior Mini Crossover Might Spell Doom For Mini's Countryman

Audi is considering reviving the Junior name for its new smallest supermini soft-roader due by the end of the decade. Ingolstadt is investigating new naming conventions after its spat with Fiat Chrysler Automobile over the disputed Q2 and Q4 badges.

By rights, Audi’s next crossover coming in 2016 should be called Q2, but that name is owned by Alfa Romeo. Hence the company is looking at new alternatives for its version of the upcoming Polo SUV.

'Might Spell Doom For Mini's Countryman?'

We know NOTHING about the new Audi; haven't seen any renderings, don't know what it will sell for, and it doesn't come out "until the end of the decade."

Yet another RIDICULOUS headline on this site. Obviously driven by the author's endless love for all-things Audi).

What gives??

Why not just make it a VW rival to the Mini that way it can be cheaper.
