I just saw the photos of this on autoblog, and I have to say this is the best looking Audi I have seen in a long time. I really like the proportions, and while obviously this is a concept car, I can see it transitioning nicely to production with most of the cues in tact.

This car is why BMW absolutely needs a 1 Series sedan, especially in the US. Audi will be eating BMW's lunch in the < $30k price range with car. SCOTT has suggested BMW is looking into a 1 Series Gran Coupe, which needs to be approved for production stat, IMHO. But kudos to Audi for apparently beating BMW to the punch on a new entry level 4 door. I can't wait to see the production version of this, hopefully with a higher output 4 cyl TSI motor like in the new Golf R.
