There’s a lot of news of news out of Audi lately: from the announcement of the R8 super car to the latest rumors regarding the A5 coupe. Now, Auto Zeitung is reporting that Audi is in the early developmental stage for a model that could be named Q3. This small offroader is thought to share “technology” with the VW Marrakesch, which is planned for 2007. (The Marrakesch is a 4×4 vehicle based on the Golf platform transversely mounted engine.) To set the Q3 apart from this Golf SUV as well as the related four-wheel-drive Skoda Yeti (also to debut in 2007), it will be launched as a “dynamic, sporty” 3-door SUV. According to its Audi-internal label “AU 366″, the Q3 will likely be based on the sixth generation VW/Audi platform 3. This seems to indicate that the Q3 will be launched after the introduction of the successor of the current Audi A3 , which is said to be introduced (as a 3-door coupe/hatch) during the summer of 2009. Audi is also said to be planning a Q5 crossover SUV.
