Audi A1 Sportback Concept

OK, here's the deal with the Audi A1 Sportback Concept. It replaces the Audi A2 – which was never sold here – and is the first real competitor to rival BMW's Mini Cooper. How? It boasts good looks, a snorty 4-cylinder under the hood, front-wheel drive and something the Mini Cooper doesn't have: five doors. Couple them with a reasonably-sized rear seat, and you have a distinct advantage over the Mini. The Audi A1 Sportback Concept also has a more aggressive look that dumps Mini cuteness for more of a pit bull growl.
