An HHR SS will still waste this German pile of crap. That’s after it scares all the women and children from its extreme ugliness

She looks angry, I like it . And the GM dude still needs a nap…

I like the aggressive styling, and the interior fits it nicely. No surprise there from Audi, as well as there’s no surprise GM still has a big rubber dick up his arse… Seriously mate… HHR? Please… that’s like saying a Beetle will beat a 599 GTB Forino around The ‘Ring

This competes more with an Aveo than an HHR.

I’m liking the interior quite a bit, but I doubt the final will look anything like the concept. Some interesting ideas coming.

Is NMOFGM a tool or a fake? I vote fake. Anyone else?

Much nicer than the X1 that’s for sure. Not sure about that center stack though. Looks like the same awkward design as the Camaro! Overall it’s pretty cool. Too bad that a) it won’t come here and b) if it did, it would be over 30k.

HHR SS – 260hp, bulletproof reliability, GM quality and desirability and most importantly? American

This Audi is a glorified VW Golf with your typical VW reputation for unreliability. Good luck going a year withoout major repairs

I’m a GM guy and an American. This site would be so much better if Need more oil for GM never posted anything. He or She posts things with out any logic at all. Think befor you type. when I first started seeing post from this person I thought they were jokes then I kept seeing them and seeing them.

But I think the car as a concept looks nice but I’m not sure how the actual car would look. I wouldn’t buy it too small.

What is it with Audi and their rims? Take a close look at the ones on this. Who the hell is going to clean those? They’ll spend their entire life caked with brake dust and I’ll bet you Audi’s rings 9 out of 10 owners will never take more than a cursory swipe at them- and that’s if it ever sees suds outside of a car wash. I’m not saying every piece of alloy needs to look like it came out of a elementary school geometry class, but let’s have a little practicality here.

Wheel acid and a pressure washer…..no scrubbing at all…..but how many people have access to that…

hey oil for gm, why don’t you shut up and check this out:

chevy hhr is only 41% american and the aveo is only 4% american while…

the acura MDX and RDX are 65% american…

The acura TL, honda accord, accord hybrid, odyssey, and pilot are 70% american.

SOURCE: http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2007-03-21-car-content-chart_n.htm

I’ve only listed a few, but there are plenty of “imports” that are mostly made in the US.

Stop trolling these boards and try something new on for size.

And Need More Oil for Gm…….come’on man….we know you love GM…….but bulletproof…..i think that GM is far from that…..as are most companies.

All the money from those Acura sales goes back to Japan. It needs to stay in this country moron. If your so gungho about supporting Japan, move there. Shouldn’t consider yourself an American

It is our duty as Americans to support our domestic Automakers, most notably GM. By not doing so, you are doing this country a great disservice. My Dad raised my on domestics (GM mainly) and he taught me that these goons in Japan do not belong in this country sellign their third world crap to hard working Americans. Americans should be rejecting foriegn cars, but sadly they are not. Therefore, it is time for Americans to wake up and realize that they are the ones fuking up this economy by sending their money back to Japan. I said it before, we need to keep the money in this country and those that do not should either move out of this country or die. They don;t belong here either.

“Need more oil fo GM” Personally, I think foreign competition makes the Big 3 better. Without it, we’d be back to the garbage they built in the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s.

As for this little Audi, I think it looks great, inside and out. I wish the Big 3 would look at building cars like this instead of the same old tired SUVs (now in “crossover” flavor).

I agree with buying domestic…….but GM has been relying too heavily on the fact that people that have been loyal to the brand have bought whatever crap they threw out there……..it’s going to take a long time for them to win customers back……because quite frankly the Japenese cars have been far better built.

It’s time for the Big 3 to start building products that people want, and want to show off to their friends and family. They’ve started doing that, but it’s going to be a long road to recovery.

The Unions have also been a major factor in the decline of the Domestic Automotive Company’s…….they all need to get there heads out of their asses and accept that they can’t make huge hourly salaries and get all sorts of benifits, all the while sitting on there asses doing nothing. I hate Unions……they do nothing for the economy.

Unions are nothing but parasites sucking the life out of the economy

The front looks mean, in a good way, though the rear could use some work…looks smushed

Did i mention I don’t like Unions………thought i’d make that clear in case there was any misunderstanding……lol

The only gung-ho thing I’m about is reliable cars. You said it yourself; americans “should” be rejecting american cars but they are not. Now why is that? You said ALL the money from acura sales go back to japan… so the japs must be blowing the employees at honda’s samerican factories. You didn’t think they’d work for free, would you?

Your logic is flawed. Because somebody buys an import does not make them anti-american, nor should they die. Going by your logic… my buddy, born in the US, serves in the Air Force, and spent time in Iraq, and then purchased a toyota yaris. So according to you, he’s not american, and should die/ and or move out of the country?

You gotta look 3 inches past your face. WWII and ‘nam ended a long time ago. Let go of that repressed hate for the japs. They’re no where near as bad for the country as oil execs are.

FYI… I own a ford.

I love the original concept in red, and pray that they offer this here, and am glad that they are mostly true-to-concept, but ……
…. AUDI DESTROYED THE ROOFLINE!

That C-pillar (or D, depending) on the red concept was a good part of what made it cool. This latest concept looks far too conventional.

Need More Oil For GM speaks the truth. The rest of you need to get a clue.

i don’t care if it has an american label, need more oil for gm. it was made in another country and imported here, which makes it unpatriotic and unamerican. i buy cars that were built here in the united states by americans.

Like the 5dr Audi concept more. Looks way more aggressive than 3dr concept. Also that Polo test mule doesn’t look that bad either, can’t wait for VW to bring the Entry Polo model to US, hopefully it will be as aggressive as the test mule.

Global lightning is just Need more oil for GM using a different screen name…..

need more oil , try to get this thru your thick skull-

does it really make sense to buy these inefficent american cars rather than a prius or civic hybrid and then increase our dependency on foreign oil

maybe with a fully developed cerebral cortex you wud have been able to understand the consequenecs of ur actions

I guess need more oil does not know that most GMs are built in korea, mexico, brasil, some in china and canada, others in europe and germany(like opels). GM has the smallest american % of home production in all the car makers in the world and that is because they never actually cared about there own american employees. All that has always counted was the profit made on every car sold in the US and lower the cost as much as possible Then they bought the dying Daewoo crap brand just before it went bankrupt, they closed it and then used the left overs to create the superb optras and epicas. Did you know that they pulled those off the market just 2 years after introduction because of major safety issues. I mean they didn’t just recaled them, they pulled them off the market… One of the many problems was the front windshield that would go flying in the car in front when youd brake suddenly. This was not in the 70’s, it was only 3 years ago my dear need more oil. And they managed to keep that all very low profil in the presses. So cut the crap my little man, do us all a favor and stop putting your sh’t all over this web site. I hope you get the message and never, ever, ever put an other word in theses pages.

And yes, we will know if you use other names, because you always say the very same sh’t.
And yes, GMs engines do need a lot of oil, and it’s not normal.

Do you think they have the same conversations over in Japan????…….Maybe everyone is compaining about people buying American….these company’s today….i don’t think you can really call them any country in specific…they’ve all become so Global……do you really think they even care about the country they are in…..are they really as patriotic as the people that buy from them…..they make a product and get us dumb asses to buy them……and who ever builds the better product gets the greater amount of business…..and that’s all it is……business…..bottom line.

i like the metroproject the best… just give it a 2.0t

Not sure how I feel about the eyebrows. “Eyelashes” yes. Eyebrows? Not so much…

I agree 100% with that, but using 3rd world country workers to make more money is still something mastered mostly by the american car makers.

I agree with vincent I mean…

The car company’s use patriotism to sell……and does it really matter where the profits go…….do you think that you somehow get a peice of the profits……..think again…….look at the salaries of the CEO’s….and the members of the board of directors…..

and where do you think they vacation………maybe a house somewhere in south america….or mexico….where they can live like kings…..have servants and all that fun stuff…….how much of there income do you think they spend here…..or do they have it invested elsewhere.

All that matters is how many people enjoy employment from them here…..cus it’s the little guy that really puts back into his local economy….the big wigs would rather travel the world….buy a peice of paradise somewhere….

So this is an Audi version of the Mini?

Vincent, I’m glad you’re a Vegas guy. You’ve spoken my thoughts almost exactly.

i drove one of these last sunday.. oh no, wait, that was a golf cart, my bad.

I don’t know if it’s Audi’s response to Mini. If it is it is inappropriate one: mini has a happy go-lucky face and French bulldog stance; this thing looks like a Nazi bastard. Something mistress Helga with 7 whips and swastika tattoo on her ass should be riding in.

NMOFGM yeah and that’s why 180,000 06-08 HHR’s have been recalled. 181,516 to be exact. If you don’t believe me go Google it.

Oh and by the way I’m a GM and Ford guy too, but get your facts straight before you post mindless ****.

Call me crazy, I would choose an HHR over this. Less things to go wrong, probably quicker, and doesn’t look like a mini SUV squished between two Hummers.

JayC, you’re not crazy. To each his own.

I’d choose this over an HHR, but I still feel this competes more with the Aveo than the HHR. Between Aveo and this, it would be a tough call.

Personally, I like the Metroproject best.

oily boy for gm.. yes ur dad raised you on crappy cars.. sorry thats not ur fault. he did to much acid in the 70’s. Stand up as americans and buy american what are u on.. american cars suck.. how can u compare a audi A1 to a crappy HHR.. u say americans are hard workers..DIE! americans are lazy f%$&#S and u know it.. almost all american cars a built overseas.. and their reliability sucks and u prolly wouldn’t know because uve never driven one.. havent u realized that no one on this website likes u.. you simply have no friggin clue of what your talking about. nobody cars about ur rants about GM there cheap crappy unstable cars with profit not quality… whats up with u wanting everyone who doesnt like ur stupid american cars to leave most cars here in the U.S arent even american best selling car in the U.S has been the camry and guess what its not.. seriously get a life and grow up.. you closed minded trailer trash deuche

anyways this looks badass

Here’s one for Need More OIL, must be referring that GMs burn more oil.

My Friend drives a BMW Z3, he recently got T-boned by an HHR. The Z3 needed a new door and minor repair. Oh, and your HHR your so proud of, was TOTALLED at less than 40 mph.

Stick that in your OIL burner and smoke it.

Need more condoms for people like Need more Oil for GM… Stop reproducing please.

Audi cars with those huge grills and thin eyes reminds me of a hippo. But i like it, they look an angry hippo, sure is badASS

DarkOps, this may not be funny, but I’m betting the bill on the door repair was higher than what the insurance gave the HHR owner…

thank you RT-10.. this A1 looks pretty badass… i wonder how they will sell in europe… maybe the 2nd gen will come to U.S. and stomp this stupid volt

I’m really loving the interior on this. It reminds me of an old 1940s and 1950s small airplane. Very nice.

I’m not too sure about that split rear window, though. That just seems a bit unnecessary.

It doesn’t take X-ray eyes to see the VW DNA.

PIECE OF CRAP

its an agro looking polo and i think i like it.

the silver test vehicle looks a little like the suzuki sx4 crossover, particularly with the black fender trim.

anyways…this is another winner for AUDI! and who cares if audi shares platforms with VW…doesnt gm and other manufacturers do the same thing to LOWER COST AND EXPENSE? and actually many japanese cars are built in america and those japanese, european and korean car makers are making more jobs for AMERICA.

NEED MORE OIL,…YOU CRACK ME UP…..LOL…LOL…LOL..

Manufacturers have been showing us some really funky seat designs for a long time now, think Range Stormer, Citroen C Cactus and original Jag XF concept, but with the exception of the Smart car, we always end up with the same old crap. When can we get seats like these.

Oh and an Audi Polo… why? The A2 was a really innovative idea, but this is just a poshed up supermini, all style and no substance

That split glass on the hatch serves no purpose. Why not just one piece?

Not much new there…
