Have a look here:

and you can see the start of the A1's launch campaign. Hooked into every social media site out there, do you get the feeling this is clearly Audi's "youth" model; an entry point into their brand? Methinks so. Still no official images, other than the concept, though.

There are spy shots, though:

Yes, that is Timberlake doing his bit for the man.

Looks like the silver a-pillars continue along the top of the doors, running alongside the gutter and presumably head back down the c-pillars as per the concept...

It were indeed

Looks ok to me. More of a resemblance to the current Ibiza than the Polo imho.

I was merely pointing out that it's of the same "class" of car...

I am looking out for the S1 to come out! 180 bhp from a a 1.4 turbo I think!! could be wrong about the engine!
