when I will be a father and have a daughter I would get that car for her or similar. think about it, small car, boyfriend, only kissing, even that would be hard.
mhahahahahahahah
they are aluminium (a-loo-mini-um), and as far as supermini's go, they are cool, and have a fairly decent spec. they are a rival for the A-series by mercedes benz, and do what they do very well. If you want a sleek looking, executive autobahn muncher, this is not it... If you want something to whizz about in, shopping, trips here and there, it is right up your street...

I looove the A2, even though I drive an Audi at the entirely opposite end of the size spectrum. I don't love it as much as I love the Merc A-class, but the A2 is still very very cute. This biodiesel version should be awesome, the current diesels on the A2 are already amazingly economical.
Regarding imports into the states, Audi is too concerned about its image here even though the A2 would definitely be popular if sold in small numbers. Here's a somewhat revealing set of facts: the Merc B-class was originally planned to come to the US, but after some thinking they only allowed it into Canada. Also, Canada does not get the A-class (awww!!!) The BMW 1-series also won't come to us. The problem is that European manufacturers look to each other too much to try to get a feel whether a specific model will do well here, and thus don't want to take any risks.
Having said that, the BMW 3-compact and the Merc C-klasse coupe have done badly in the states, and are preventing a large number of smaller cars from European automakers from entering the US market.
However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel, as Scion models and upcoming Chinese imports might create a much bigger market for small, upright compacts like the A2.
Coooollllll
