Default A4 coupe

Wondering if anyone has the facts on the A4 coupe - is it for real, or just a figment of Audiworld's imagination? I asked my dealer about it and he had no idea what I was talking about.
I owned a '98 A4 1.8T, then a '00 BMW 528 (sorry), now an '02 allroad, and my favourite of the bunch is still my little A4. I love the idea of a coupe with the pre-chipped 1.8T engine at 190hp!

Default AudiWorld never said anything about A4 coupe, did they? ...

Or are you talking about the Nuvolari concept car presented in Geneva, which is somethig totally different from the A4 coupe.

Default ah yes, that picture is a photochop that has been around for over a year now...

appearing on many websites and even in a few magazines. I'm not saying there won't be an A4 coupe, but chances are it will not look like that.

No they will make it, although the small rear doors have been nixed.

Default Someone hijacked your pic?

Make sure Audi doesn't borrow your design. ;-)

Default I saw one wrapped up at the dealership in December . .

Rusnak Westlake Village Audi Dealership gets a lot of prototype/test cars to service, because VW/Audi has two design studios nearby.

Although I could only clearly see into the front and forward side windows, it looked okay, even though the car-cover-like wrapping. I have never liked large coupes. Sportscar coupes, naturally; however, any vehicle with a rear seat designed for passengers should have four doors.
