Feck me Audi have such a huge range it's ridiculous.

I've had my eye on this since it was announced last year some time and really tempted to get the S version when it gets released. Unless there is an RS in the works..

The Q3 has to be the most pointless car they make...

Exactly my point! Isnt the A4 classed as a small saloon?  It would make more sense as a 2 door, but still not needed!

I dont agree that the q3 is pointless

Its like the x3 to the x5, a smaller cheaper version of there 'SUV' like a freelander to a discovery?

I'd say the Q5 is that car, not the Q3.

As said above the us don't like hatch backs and tbh most a3 size cars have a saloon variant in Europe. Alot of companies do saloon versions of small hatchbacks like fabia, punto's etc for eastwrn europe so I'm surprised it never appeared sooner as vw already had a variant of the golf being the Jetta

It's not so much the massive range of Audis, more the fact they're just a series of identical Russian dolls.

The design team simply just stick it in the photocopier and click x1.5
Sideways yo!

Q3 = X1
Q5 = X3
Q7 = X5

It's ridiculous. Would Sir like his SUV very slightly bigger?
