Perhaps with "new model" they don't mean S and RS versions of existing models so i would say:

1-New TT
2-A5 coupe
3-Q5 SUV
4-New A2
5-New A4
6-A3 cabrio

All the A3 cabrio chops I saw didn't look too hot.
The A3 is too small for a convertible. Let Audi stick will the TT or a small cabrio. Much better.

A3 cabrio will be close to the size of VW EOS:



That means around 4.41 meters in length which makes it only a few cm smaller than E46 3 series cabrio!

Oooh, that is not too bad.

I had a Mini cabrio picture i n my head.
