Agreed :sick: if depression was shown in metal form Audi win all the time :signLOL:

Just looks like a slightly bigger A1........
So in that case, I likey! :laugh:
-
I have lots of hatred for the A1 too. It has to be one of the most poorly proportioned cars on sale today. It is the car equivalent of a dork.
Of more worry is the design of the MK7 Golf. I haven't seen one decent render and I'm almost positive VW are going to f*ck it up.

Looks GREAT !!!

Looks good to me. Practically same as last model. :)

I agree, IMO the A1 looks fantastic and I rue'd that it was too small for my purposes so a big A1 is ideal. The interior is also brilliant. Unfortunately the S3 Sportback will be a good few years down the road.

I quite like it...
-
I wish Audi/VW would stop pissing around with mediocre facelifts and design a new all improved chassis, to make them exciting to drive.... Unless they have and I've missed it?

This is a totally brand new chassis, same one that will underpin the Golf 7
-
I'm not a fan of the current A3, but this one is just pure blandness.

And details on the new chassis can be found here - http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/278209/new_vw_mqb_unveiled.html

Ahhh... Wonder how much of an improvement it is then, will be interesting to drive a mk7 GTI to compare it to the mk5. :-)
-
If VW/Audi went for a revolutionary new design it would make the outgoing model look much more dated, sending the residuals crashing and pissing off the existing customers in the process. Softly softly catch a tiger...
-
:indifferent:
I owned an A3 sportback when they 1st launched them and liked the design when new.... I think the A1 is fugly from the rear.... and a mistake to bore the range by cloning them....
boring, dull, unimaginative, pointless facelift :fighting2:
-
80 kgs less weight, longer wheelbase, better weight distruíbution, new suspension, active mech. differential
- it WILL handle MUCH better !!!
And wait till to see it on your own, it's NOT just a larger A1. :booty:
-
is the longer wheelbase gonna make it more fun to drive? Sound like the reverse to me.

Ahhh, so it doesn't look like it does in the photos?
:wink:

Less front heavy ( + wider track, less weight etc. ). Why you expect it to be less fun to drive?
-
Longer wheelbase - slower turn in? Its slow enough as it is on the mk5 chassis. :signLOL:
-
In general - yes.
But keep in mind 80 kgs lower weight, better weight distribution and increased track width. This
will outweight some mm longer wheelbase by far. The optional active diff will improve both traction
and cornering even more.
A BMW 1 series has a much longer wheelbase compared to a Golf. Does it have a worse turn in?
I strongly believe the new A3 and Golf Mk.VII GTI will run circles around the Mk.V/VI platform GTI.
-
Terrible.
+1.
Looks just the same as the old one from the side, and like every other Russian Doll Audi from the front. Get some imagination and creativity, Audi is going down the same road that Peugeot went down.
Good news for current A3 owners though, residuals won't suffer as much because people won't know you're in an old shape :signLOL:
-
Well overdue, its been like 10 years on the same chassis?!
