Now that's something good
Do you have interior photos?
google for them. that car will cost quite a bit more than the cupra though seeing as alfa wants to be a premium brand.

Audi’s MINI-killer is hard at work, stretching muscle for its debut presumed to be Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Of course we have seen several sketches and renderings of what the Audi A1 will/ should look like. But now we have some leaked pictures of what its cabriolet version looks like before its unveiling, courtesy of Auto Express.
Audi A1 has a more advanced roof mechanism to operate its soft top, which, unlike previous MINI’s, folds into a hideaway position at the back and doesn’t expose itself to all sorts of intrusions. The electro operated roof will also fold rather quickly into its enclosure, and also make good space for things like groceries. The jury is still out on golf bags though.
The A1 will also feature funkier touches that will hopefully appeal to its target audience, with existing technologies like iPod interfaces, interior lighting options and a scaled-down version of MMI. We’ll probably see more funk than what’s in the Fiat 500 in terms of personalisation options. We’ll see more engines as well...
Starting with 1.4 TSI giving both 140 bhp and 170 bhp, put through to the front wheels. A 102 bhp 1.6-litre will come through as a base engine, while a 1.8-litre option of some 150 bhp will be the one just below the range topper S1. Before that though, diesel will play a role as well in the form of 2.0 TDI of 140 and 170 bhp. S1 should be using same 2.0-litre TFSI as big brother S3, although to suggest some 261 bhp/ 195kW as the S3 would probably be too optimistic. Instead we are likely to get between 200 bhp and 215 bhp for S1 when it comes out in 2011. The last time Audi had an A1 the market was not ready yet. And the target was not the same as this one.
So pretty much what we have been saying.
FR TDI with 140hp
Cupra TDI 170hp.
And 2.0T for the petrol cupra.

Hasn't anyone told you not to pay attention to AutoExpress!!!
The 2.0TfSI or TSI if you prefer would likely be the newer EA888 series like the newer 1.8TfSI chain driven & the like... Looks like the A5 is the first recipient @211hp...
Pics of the SportCoupe on the Autocar site today and they will be driving one and giving a report on 3 July. What a disappointment, especially the back view.

In fear of getting a banning, i have to admit, and i can't explain why, when I see this:
I get a mental afterthought of this:
Not a great thought, but I guess I'll get over it once is all Cupra'd up.

I dont understand what you are trying to say.
Yes one can only presume that if the 3 door gets the 2.0T it will be based on the 1.8T EA888 architecture. The new 2.0T engine design allows for greater boost althought I doubt seat will benefit of the valvelift technology like the A5 so power should be about 200hp. Should be good for 250-260 hp after a remap though apparently.
FR petrol should be 1.4 with 170hp, cant see them making a 200hp 1.4 really when the 2.0t is sitting there already.
Never do, they talk rubbish at times. The new Audi A1 was reviewed as having 'distinct family line design'.
Firstly, what the feck does distinct family line design mean?!?
Secondly, how can you put a car with 2 seats and the word FAMILy in the same sentence???
They talk utter b0ll0cks at times.

Am I missing something again? A1 will seat 5 people unless it has those rear sports seats which will mean only 4 people.
Apologies, they are reviewing the A1 cabriolet which is a two seater - they've canned the 2 rear seats thank god.
Apologies, off thread

the white one is what im talking about................. cupra in that with black wheels = 
I've been thinking a cupra if it gets the bocanegra black front would be stunning white.
yep, i want it in the red/orange colour as seen at the stand though as its jaw droppingely gorgeous like that imo
Come to think about it it does look like a new style corsa. it isnt bad looking at all, i prefer the mk4 design though

it's nose grille is too big, and doesn't flow with the shape of the car. Other than that I'm getting used to the front. It's the back that I'm not sure of.
Uploaded a load of new press shots here. Not all of them because there were more than a 100.
Seems SEAT have bought themselves a bigger memory card.

What's the idea of leaving the bottom section of the bumpers and the sills black? When I look at it I read the bottom of the coloured paint as the lowest point of the car which makes it look as if it is riding really high. This especially applies to the back bumper and when the car is on tarmac rather than grass!. They did the same thing with my Mk4 Ibiza and I have never really liked that aspect of it.
