Some parts of the car look better in the PSs, but overall a great looking car! The interior looks very nice as well!

Thanks for posting JM!

My very 1st impression: The same as X3!

Yeah, i know it's a concept, but we also know that Audi doesn't change the production car too much from concepts...

Why i've said X3? Nice interior and nice rear, but the front is a disaster! I'm sorry, but that's how i feel.

Plus, it has some weird lines in the 1st pic; i' getting the feeling if you remove the c-pillars and rear windshield you'd get a nice pick-up.

Anyhow, it's too early, that's why i say my 1st impression, let's wait for more pics...

This looks very much like shrinked-yet-bloated Roadjet, or like A4 Sportback Allroad - as you wish.

But since it is smaller: LxWxH = 4.38m x 1.82m x 1.60m; wheelbase: 2.60m (slightly larger than A3 Sportback) it could be A3 Sportback Allroad.

Or like Audi will probably call it: Q3, or Q4. Based on upcoming Mk3 A3, also using Hladex instead of Torsen for Quattro.

VW's concept A, or even 2000 Audi Steppenwolf were much more interesting (and prettier) Sport Activity Coupe design studies.

This cross coupe looks very weird from profile.

It previews the Q5, which will be the X3's competitor (Q7 vs X5, Q5 vs X3).

But after seeing how coupe-like this car (Q5) is, I really don't see Audi developing a Q6 SAC? Unless it's a 2-door, 2+2. More sloping roofline and there goes the headroom for the rear passengers...

I agree with TycoonGTR, the rear is gorgeous but the front could really use an improvement!

Hmmm, I'm a little dissapointed. I sorta like the front but the rest is goofy looking. I hope the production model will work out some of the weirdness.

But this Concept is much smaller than X3 (text says its slightly larger than A3 Sportback).

Cross Coupe / X3

LxWxH (m): 4.38x1.82x1.60 / 4.57x1.85x1.67

I guess this concept showcases "Q3" / "Q4" - based on new A3 platform (note: it uses Haldex instead Torsen). Something that will compete with potential BMW X1/X2.

Lordy.. Front pic looks ok, rear looks kinda crud but livable, but from the side it looks like shyte. Awful proportions. Looks like a rushed design job. Could the overhangs be any bigger?

I think I like it! There are some details that I'm not so sure about but overall I'm quite satisfied.
