opps. Can I find any AUDI A2 owners here? Anyone here who has experience with this car? — Der Martin
Response:
Have got one. Very happy. Aluminum makes it very light (895kg with no options, I think about 1000kg with airco and so on) and 75 pk is enough for european speed limits – thanks to the low weight (in Germany, perhaps it’s better having an A8 to ride at 250 km/h….). Mail me for more specific information. O. Delcourt;

To make a Bora out of a Golf is a piece of cake. Just another frontend, a different dashboard (both delivered as one piece from other companies) and a new sign. That’s it. In addition to that there are other motors avaible in the Vento. It’s just another model variation, like Gti. But I believe the market segment to which the Bora aims is the wrong one. Such a car could never compete with a BMW 3.. . Hey, what do native English speakers think about the name Bora? It always reminds me to boring. Bye, Jochen

In the moment I don’t have the right URL, but try www.audi.de. There’s a link to this site (under news). Bye, Jochen

It worked pretty well for Maserati.
Response:
I see your point.. its true that alot of people who would have gone for the top-range Golf have ended up buying the A3 sporty instead. i also found the passat to be very well designed, and have an extremely eye-catching look. come to think of it too , the Bora/jetty is also very good design. —

You’re wrong. It’s the Seat Toledo which is based on the Golf. > And the Audi A3?
…and the New Beetle and the TT… Bye, Jochen

No, it don’t. The A2 is much more spacier than a Lupo, inside it’s more like a Golf. Although it looks very small because of its one box design concept similar to Mercedes A-Class (but without underfloor engine). Bye, Jochen

Audi just introduced the A2 at the IAA this year. The A2 was developed from the Al2 show car, and is the other aluminum space frame car from Audi. There is an website, www.audi-a2.com.

Imagine an Audi S2, or even (new) RS2 based on that

Sure, think of it as the General Motors model. It is not so much that X car is competing against Y car, but that X and Y are selling more cars than Z car from M motors. Why else would the Camaro/Firebird stay around? They may not individually sell more than a Mustang, but together they may. (I don’t have the sales figures, I am using this as argument) How many Golf models are there? What else is the SEAT Ibiza and the Skoda whatever? And the Audi A3? GM has seven divisions, and there are times that you see at least four variations of the same car. How else does Volkswagen become one of the largest manufacturers in the world? You don’t buy stock in Pontiac or Chevrolet, you buy stock in General Motors. The same with Volkswagen. Cover all markets, develop demographics, give them what they want.

Considering the price of Lupo and the probable price of A2, there won’t be much overlap. People who will want a mure luxurious car will go with A2 and pay more money and others will take the Lupo. It is a simple marketing strategy, offering two brands: one better looking and the other for the crowds. The same thing as with the Golf IV and Audi A3. But I really do not know why they made the Passat look so good. It is serious competition to the A4 and even low-models of A6. Would you rather have an A4 with the worst (but still very good) engine or a Passat with all the goodies? Bojan
Response:
So, what, exactly, is the A2?? A previous post pointed to the A2 web site, but it was a false link when I tried it. Would anyone like to clarifiy what this thing is? Dwight
Response:
The classic example of VW/Audi overlap is when they released the Bora and Golf wagons! Now, that was taking their platform strategy a little too far! Guy.

Jeah, that’s more like it. But still Bora is quite different than Golf (talking about wagons), maybe not from the outside, but surely from the inside. But I agree with you. And also if you add the Polo wagon, you’ve got three really similar cars. Bojan
Response:
Could anyone help me to find a site which contains info about this car?
