On sale next year

Our spy photographers have managed to catch the first images of the 2011 Audi Q3.

While heavily camouflaged, the crossover will feature styling inspired by the Cross Coupe quattro concept which debuted at the 2007 Shanghai Motor Show. It will compete with the BMW X1 and Range Rover Evoque.

Engine options are expected to include a 200 hp (149 kW / 203 PS) 2.0-liter TFSI, a 238 hp (177 kW / 241 PS) 3.0-liter TDI, and a 333 hp (248 kW / 338 PS) supercharged 3.0-liter V6. A hybrid variant is also expected.

The Q3 will go into production at Seat's Martorell factory early next year. Annual output will likely total 80,000 units.

Not a bad looking car, but it is a station wagon, regardless of what they call it. XUV, crossover....whatever, it's a station wagon.

A VW with ome clay and cloth over so that the exterior does not look the same as another vW 4X4. Good luck for those buyers out there. When I buy premium, I want pedigree premium, like a BMW or Merc.

No, BMW and Merc are considering joining forces for parts purchasing together to get greater economies of sclae. Not renault or nissan - they are not premium products! This is why Audi is so cheap and fake!
