Another couple of articles concerning Audi Cross Coupe quattro and Audi Cross Coupé quattro Concept. Looks like a interesting variation. Wonder how it will impact other Audi model sales such as A4's with Quattro?

The second article is really interesting in regard to what's coming up soon. Thinkabout a 2009 A3, restyled, with some of these features- particularly the 2.0 TDI, magnetic ride, and Haldex Quattro. You can bet that Audi is.

Per Car and Driver: At 172.4 inches in length, the Cross Coupé Quattro concept is less than four inches longer than the Audi A3 compact hatchback, and the concept’s wheelbase is only one inch longer than the A3’s. The main size difference is height: This concept is seven inches taller than the A3.

IMHO if this car offers a new transversely mounted 2.0-litre turbodiesel with 204bhp and 295lb ft of torque from 2000rpm that gets 47 MPG, then with the extra height to make it more of a cross country vehicle then I think a lot of people would buy it. Consider this against a A4 with Quattro...hmmmmm which would you rather ride up into the snow country?
