(Updated) The latest issue of Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport magazine features an artist’s illustration of the forthcoming Audi A1 compact car. Recent reports have indicated the car could arrive as a 2009 or 2010 model. The magazine reckons it will arrive at IAA 2009 in Frankfurt. The car has been described as a direct rival to BMW ’s Mini Cooper. The AMS rendering is somewhat more tame than Autobild’s recent impression. Pricing for the 2+2 seater will be between 16.000 and 18.000, the report says. A convertible roadster version may also be offered. [Front view from magazine cover scan. See also: rear view].
