Audi has released photos of its Audi A1, aka the Audi Metroproject Quattro concept car that it plans to debut at the 2007 Tokyo auto show next week.
The Audi wins hands-down in terms of a sophisticated and elegant look for a sub-compact, inexpensive car compared with its intended rival, the BMW Mini Cooper.
The Audi A1 makes BMW's Mini Cooper look like Minnie Mouse, a colorful, fun and quirky friend you once thought was cute as a child. But now that you're an adult your interests lie more toward Heidi Klum or Seal.
My prediction is that its strong upscale look and first-new-car price will attract just as many males as females.
The concept car is a hybrid-electric car with a 1.4-liter engine. It would be able to do 0-60 in 7.8 seconds, have a top speed of 125 mph, and get about 48 mpg, according to Motor Authority, which has a full gallery on the car.
