Spy Shots: Audi Q3 caught frolicking in the snow

Filed under: Spy Photos , Crossover , Audi Audi Q3 spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery The details on Audi ‘s forthcoming Q3 crossover are slim, and while we still have yet to see a clear set of spy photos (this latest set certainly isn’t the greatest, but beggars can’t be choosers), there’s no doubt that the automaker is prepping its smallest-yet CUV for a debut sometime in 2011. We do understand that the majority of the Q3’s groundwork will be based on the Volkswagen Tiguan , though the styling will be more akin to that of Audi’s Cross Coupe concept from 2007. Various reports have stated that the Tiguan’s engines and transmissions will carry over to the Q3, so we can expect the Audi to be powered by the automaker’s 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, producing somewhere around 200 horsepower.

Audi signs on for fourth consecutive Super Bowl ad

Filed under: Marketing/Advertising , Audi Audi has issued a press release announcing that it will advertise during the Super Bowl for the fourth consecutive year. Buying ad time is usually a non-newsworthy affair, but a single 30-second spot during the Big Game represents a financial commitment of $3 million or more.
