Mini's Bane: Spec'ing the Audi A1

The German Car Blog-ers translate a report in Auto Motor und Sport indicating the upcoming Audi A1 will be the Mini fighter premium hatch as expected, and will take the name "Shooting Brake," a reference to the Tokyo concept of last year (and the wacky, gentleman's sports wagons of old Blighty). According to the report, the likely Euro-only A1 — spec'ed above by the magazine's artistes — will built on the Golf V platform and priced in the $20,000-$25,000 range. Word is, it'll premiere at the 2009 Frankfurt show, with a convertible coming after the first of the decade.
