While astir of Audi's modern offerings haven't really grabbed me, location are a batch of Audis that I genuinely love. The stunning first-gen R8, nan absurd Q7 V12 TDI, nan Princess Diana–owned 80 convertible, each procreation of TT, astir generations of RS4 and RS6 — each awesome cars. But my favourite by acold is the Audi A2, nan aluminum-bodied, ultra-efficient metropolis car that was sold in Europe from 1999 to 2005.

Put each of nan A2's innovations speech (and location were galore astatine nan time), and it still stands arsenic an fantabulous portion of car design. Penned by Luc Donckerwolke, nan A2 looked for illustration thing other connected nan road. It had awesome aerodynamics acknowledgment to elements for illustration nan wacky roofline and sealed-off grille, but its salient fender flares and large wheels gave it amended proportions and a sportier stance than astir metropolis cars, and it was distinctly an Audi. It came successful absorbing colors and had a prestigious interior, too. Despite getting rave reviews, nan A2's style didn't triumph complete galore customers and it remained a reasonably niche product, though its power can't beryllium overstated. Audi is still trying to pursuit nan precocious of nan A2, and is apparently moving connected an electrical successor. I can't hold to spot it.

So, chap Jalops, what's your favourite Audi and why? Let maine cognize successful nan comments and I'll information up my favourite answers later this week.
