Audi still investigating Mini-sized A1

By Derek Fung and Brian Cooley on 08 October 2008

Paris Motor Show 2008 Audi's latest A1 concept car features funky turn signals and turbo hybrid drivetrain. Don't be misled though, this or something very much like it, albeit with a conventional engine, will be heading to stores soonish.

The Sportback feels like the umpteenth A1 concept car that Audi has trotted out, with the latest car featuring five doors and a turbo hybrid drivetrain. The latter may or may not make it to production, but the A1 is at unbackable odds to slot into Audi's line-up by either the end of 2009 or sometime in 2010. It will be smaller than the Golf-sized A3 and will be targeted at those thinking of a Mini.

Pretty cool car. If it does come into production - It would be better if it's a more 'conventional' car.

Lexus RX400h (2006)

For those craving a luxury four-wheel drive with an emphasis on luxury rather than cornering elan, then the RX400h is a good choice. It's about as much four-wheel drive as many of us will ever need, and its fuel thrift is pleasing too.
Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TDI (Golf V, 2007)

A fine way to traverse Australia's vast distances, but we miss the Twincharger's up and at them attitude.
Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI (Golf V, 2007)

The GT Sport TSI shape-shifts easily between a relaxed cruiser and inconspicuous hot-hatch, and the 1.4-litre Twincharger engine is an engineering marvel. But the GTI is just five grand more. Decisions, decisions.
Jeep Cherokee Sport diesel (2008)

Built for serious off-roading, not just dashing up the gravel track to your favourite vineyard, the Cherokee demands too many compromises to be a city-bound family hauler.
Toyota Tarago GLi (2006)

A people mover that transports all manner of cargo with ease. Pity that it's so pricey and that many of the valuable safety features are optional extras.

BMW 135i coupe (2008 E82)

Coupes are cool, hatches are not; so say the Americans. Thus BMW begat a coupe version of its Golf-sized 1-Series. The top of range model features the 3.0-litre twin-turbo engine which recently took out the International Engine of the Year award for the second year running.
