Audi has for once in moderntime for their standard production models stepped outside the box and I will appalude them just for that!

What exactly do you mean by 'stepped outside the box' ?

They've been making A3's for a while now...in fact this new A1 reminds of the old A3...and of course they had the A2. They have enough experience with compact cars, and of course VW knows everything about small cars.

Against the fear of "devaluing" the brand, they have created a very small car of which size is generally associated with low-end brand. Mercedes choose Smart and BMW, Mini -- for competing in the the segment of small cars as oppossed to using the parent company's brand as a label. This car is even lower on the ladder than the A-Class and 1-Series. Despite that the excitement for the car is big.

Yeah but the dose of contreversy had already been swallowed when they launched the A2.

Hmm, the exterior is as expected. Like every other Audi.

As for the interior it's a mess. The Polo feels looks more upscale inside, while the A1 looks like it tries to be premium and funky at the same time. It's like it tries to be Mini with the round air vents and that lower part of the dash.
