• VW Group's next small-car platform to get AWD across the board

  Filed under: Economy , Euro , Hatchbacks , Audi , Volkswagen , SEAT Click above for a high-res gallery of the Audi metroproject quattro Concept. Buyers of the next generation of Volkswagen-developed small cars will have one more option box to tick when placing their order: all-wheel-drive. The new platform, dubbed PQ25, will find its way underneath a handful of new models, spanning the range from the low-end (SEAT), mid-grade (VW) and luxury (Audi). All-wheel-drive won't be an option for the new SEAT Ibiza, but consumers of the next VW Polo (specifically the CrossPolo) might be able to outfit their tiny runabout with AWD, while the Audi A1, due out in late 2009, will continue the automaker's love affair with quattro.

• Rendered Speculation: Audi A1 taking different direction

  Filed under: Spy Photos , Economy , Tokyo Motor Show , Audi With recent reports that Audi still hadn't finalized the design of it's upcoming A1 mini, designer Gabriel Rabhi has shared his own thoughts on what it should look like. Rabhi has created a series of images for Fourtitude that show a new look for the A1. Aside from the now standard Audi grille and the upsweep of the lower body character line, it doesn't share much with current Audis. Unlike Mini and Fiat, Audi doesn't have a classic small car design to draw on for retro cues so Rabhi has combined typical small car proportions with some distinct design elements. Until we see the real thing from Tokyo in a couple of weeks, check out the car in various colors at Fourtitude .
