Interesting, but looks very cheapy compared to other Audi products...

I think it looks ugly, inside and out. Interior does look unusually cheap compared to other Audis.

it does look like a little handful though. very aggressive design. i like it.

is this a competitor to Volvo C30?
the interior is so untypical of audi

More details on the A1 Metroproject

Much of the speculation is now over as Audi's just let loose some details and a slew of pictures on their new A1 concept car for the Tokyo Auto Show. It's called the A1 Metroproject Quattro, and it's the same A1 plug-in hybrid concept car we told you we were expecting to see in Japan just a month or so ago. Under the hood is a 150 bhp 1.4-liter TFSI engine with power directed to the front wheels through an S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox. But wait, here's the cool part. There's a 41 HP electric motor right atop the rear axle delivering an additional load of torque on those rear wheels when you put the foot down. This A1 is a true plug-in hybrid, with the electric motor capable of powering the concept car on its own in urban areas for up to 62 miles in pure electric mode and the motor can be recharged from any power socket. On the interior you've got a radio system that looks very much like the radio from the Camaro concept car (why? We've no idea) and a very interesting cell phone thing (more on that shortly). We're looking forward to seeing this bad boy live next week

I can imagine the concept meeting for this car: "let's make a car that will cheapen the brand but, will minimize it buy making everything super aggressive..."

78/22percent torque split, WTF?

Yeah, I love it. The design is fantastic. Like everything good about the Fiat 500 and the Mini rolled into typical Audi graceful design. I think it's fantastic.

Hopefully the pillarless stainless steel arch makes it.

I like the rear end with the encased tail pipes, what I want to do with my GS.

I think it looks pretty cool as well. And the hybrid tech sounds wonderful. 62 mileson electric only is awesome. :thumbup:

I have mixed feelings about the Saturn Ion silver painted window arches though.
