Default Audi registered the Q3-Q8 and SQ3-SQ8 names

I had to translate this from a foreign <a href="http://totalcar.hu/rhirek/?main:2004.09.02&192118">source</a>. so here it is...

"Audi has registered nem letter and number combinations as trademarks. Q3-Q8 and SQ3-SQ8 will probably be seen on future Audi models.

One possibility is that the company will use the Q name for its SUV type vehicles. This way Q3 would be a smaller SUV type vehicle built on an A3 Sportback base. The next generation Allroad Quattro could be the Q6. The upcoming larger Audi SUV that would be somewhat like the Toureg would receive the Q7 or Q8 name.

Another possibility is that Audi is planning on renaming its current models and Q would stand for the Quattro system. Thus the current A4 Quattro would be called Q4 and SQ4 would be its sportier version.

The plans are not know yet, but those will be revealed in the near future. Audi is planning to introduce its larger SUV type vehicle in the spring of 2005."

Default Many sources are guessing that it will be based on the Pikes Peak prototype...

That looks pretty good, but it looks to be just as high as the toureg.
