Return of the Audi A2 ?

I just wonder if it can match the Cd of the previous model ( .25 )

Where is the roofline arch that the previous car had ?

The side view mirrors are more forward, closer to the base of the 'A' pillar; on the new version. Also less pronounced fender flare around the wheel openings.

Some additional pictures:





Skinny seats:

That was a tad too fast, requiring a spoiler.
The arch is still there, just less pronounced.

...I *do* like those "thin" bucket seats! But, the rest of the interior is blah!

I guarantee you the "skinny seats" won't make it to production.

...too bad, a carbon-fiber frame would be so-o-o-o much lighter/stronger than the current stamped steel shells.
