AWD is what made Audi famous.

Notice that the photos are of an Audi version only sold in Europe. It "wears" a 2.4 liter engine making about 170 or so HP.
The 170HP, 1.8 liter 4, will also be introduced here in the USA later but I just dont see how it will be sufficient for the weight of this car. It's weak even in the coupe. This car is much heavier than the coupe. Audi needs to enlarge its engines. What do you think?

I really don't like it. It looks too much like any other Audi. Also, the body is way too high, IMO. I thinkt tha the plastic trim that runs along the sides should be higher. It looks too narow too
