Official (and seemingly unnecessary)

Not quite yet- this was a leak but the rest should be unveiled sometime this week.

I am just not sure how this makes sense between the A4 and A6...it doesn't even really look different.

So we can officially say hatches are making a serious comeback. B/C it doesn't matter what their marketing departments say all these cars are nothing but hatchbacks

Wow that is beautiful. Like the CC, it will undoubtedly look much better in real life!

I like hatchbacks and I'm glad its making some sort of come back. To bad we won't be getting this model in America.

It looks great. Classy and yet totally understated, typical Audi.

Wow, I'm usually not a fan of most hatchbacks, but that looks pretty good IMO.

Looks good to me even if it looks like any Audi the last 20 years, though the rear hatch seems pretty high and limits cargo room. I would consider this over the A4.....

Now Audi has the Hoffmeister Kink

I don't get it. It just looks a little weird to me. I think people who are hung up on driving a station wagon will have hang ups with driving a hatch.

If they bring this to the US market, I predict it will not do well.
