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

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

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

By: jayjc08

jayjc08 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:22:27 +0000

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.

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.

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.

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….

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…..

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.

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 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.

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

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.
