MMM: Audi A1
Sorry for the lack of MMM last Monday. One Of Those Weeks.
Mark sent me an article about the upcoming Audi A1. Unfortunately it's in Swedish so I haven't a bull's* notion what it says, but I must look into it later so I'll report back if I spy anything interesting.
Not bad looking in general, nice pillarless design, but what's going on with that silver swoosh at the roofline?
* Have I gone overboard with the apostrophe there?
Enjoy this article?

Ugh, I’m not a fan. Never liked the look of the Audi TT, hate the roundiness. Is that the engine in the back seat on picture 21/22?

Looks more like a flux capacitor to me.
I’ve always liked the first TT, despite the hairdresser looks, although it was a shame that spoiler had to be added. The second one has grown on me in a Nissan Z sort of way, and I’ve never been as annoyed as some by the gaping mouth look. I think it was seeing the RS4 spider ad before actually seeing it on the road that did it. This one looks blander every time I look at it though.

It’s an electric motor (the concept car is a hybrid, and the electric motor and battery pack is good for around 100 km).
Don’t you think the Audi grille makes it look a bit like the cars have goatees?

Nope, although I think they might have gone a bit too far joining the two bits up. The Scream comes to mind.
