RE: Audi Allroad Shooting Brake is ... 'concrete'
Discussion
What a load of cobblers..
The original allroad has been the best car i've ever owned.. i've had it for 5 years done over 100k it in, towed cars with it, taken it offroad, long comfy jaunts, moved house with it many times, seriously the best allrounder and I can't think of anything else i'd replace it with. plenty of poke with a nice v6 diesel thrum.. the air suspension means it rides sooo nicely and can adjust it up and down for decent ground clearance... driveshafts were upgraded over the a6 as well as underbody protection, bigger brakes, air suspension, even a low range gearbox if you wanted it..
the a4 allroad seems to just be an a4 with a bodykit and this new thing just another niche to fill.. poor show audi..
oh and even took it on a drift day for a laugh when it started raining...
and fun in the snow too..

So what we have here is a tarted-up, jacked-up Golf, with hybrid drive and more power and torque than an E39 M5... right, that makes sense... Mr Audi, could you please ditch the hybrid drive and put in a 150hp 1-litre 3-cylinder turbo, a manual 'box and 2WD? It'd probably weigh half a ton less. That or build us a proper small utilitarian 4x4 like a Suzuki Jimny, only less of a style disaster.

It looks good for an Audi. I don't think the finished product will be quite as sharp, I also think they're going to need to introduce 5-doors to cater for our better halves and children. Which, will undoubtably take away from the original styling.
Nice though yes.
So you want a Q3?Nice though yes.

I can't see them doing this without 6 months down the line going for 5 doors. Which, yes, will pretty much be a Q3, but it wont be called a Q3, and it'll be more expensive.

It's far nicer looking than a Q3, I'm not interested in any Audi. They don't make me want...

If they make a 5-door TT Quattro shooting brake and a Q3, that really will be pushing the limits of micro-niching!I can't see them doing this without 6 months down the line going for 5 doors. Which, yes, will pretty much be a Q3, but it wont be called a Q3, and it'll be more expensive.
