Audi preparing A2 Mini killer
The Audi A2 which has not been a very strong seller in Europe looks to be taking on a new role for it's debut as a 2008 model. This next generation of the A2 will be aimed squarely at the BMW Mini.
Audi sources have said the next generation A2 will be based on the Volkswagen Polo platform which is front wheel drive. It's likely that the A2 would be offered with Audi's trademark Quattro all wheel drive system. It's also been confirmed that the new model will closely resemble the Shooting Brake concept shown at the Tokyo auto show.
"When we look at this segment it is clear there are a lot of customers who want a car below the A3," Audi Chairman Martin Winterkorn said in an interview at the Geneva auto show. "Mini has done well with its car. It has become more and more apparent there is demand there."

Hmmm.. I just bought a one series. But, if the A2 is anything like the concept, in 2008 I'm gonna get one of these. It looks gorgeous!
