Audi dumbs down new A2

The original A2 (shown above) was a fabulous little car. It was beautifully engineered from lightweight aluminium. It was a thoroughly modern, efficient and responsible car optimised for today’s crowded road conditions. It boasted confident, minimalist styling that shames Audi’s current predilection for door-sized grilles and fussy swage lines. And it was an utter failure. So, it should come as no surprise that the new A2 will be little more than a rebodied VW Polo.
