I'm really looking forward to these innovative cars.

I wonder what they will look like?

Hope it was a seller's market. :thumbs:

Will the Q2 be based on the A2?




:lol:

It was a trade of trade marks. Audi released 80 and 100 perhaps.:cheese:

I have an Alfa Romeo Q2 badge somewhere in my garage, I wonder if its worth more or less now? I also saw 159Ti Q4 yesterday in Aberdeen, first one Ive ever seen!

Maybe FCA want to do another Ducati Corse to milk another 12 months
out of the Giulietta and/or MiTo without actually doing any real work on them....?


(Has more of a ring/success than "SBK" ?)

But what did FCA get in return ??

Diesel engine technology

Permission to continue use of "Quattro" in Quattroporte. VW are generous like that.

This sort of thing happens a lot between car companies... FCA would have got some cash in exchange I'd guess... Audi have been asking them for years...

The Q names would look a bit odd now on an Alfa if they tried to use them ... take the money and run !

I cant decide now between Audi or VW on which designs the most staid and boring looking cars... Audi I think ... the VW Up! is a bit different and the Sirocco is ugly ...

The only good looking car that either make is the A5.

Not stopped either for selling shed loads of cars.

The article says no money changed hands. The question is, what was the deal?
