At the Los Angeles Auto Show today, Audi carves out yet another niche in the market by attempting to answer the question of what happens when a TT roadster and a Q7 head behind the barn for some fun. Apparently, the answer is the Cross Cabriolet quattro. This new crossover with a retractable soft-top features Audi's obligatory quattro all-wheel-drive and gets propulsion via the latest version of the 3.0L TDI V6.

The updated TDI has 240hp and 369 lb-ft of torque and is fully compliant with the Euro 6 emissions regulations. The diesel is equipped with a particulate filter and uses urea injection to clean up the NOx emissions. The fifteen foot long four-seater has 110.6-inch wheelbase. All the torque is distributed to the corners by way of an eight speed automatic transmission and motion is arrested by big ceramic brakes.

The tyres have side tread for help climbing all the curbs in the supermarket car park when Betty Bimbo takes her friends out for a latté.

G'day All, You know it's funny, where I live in the Huinter Valley we get lotz of 'upper class type's' that come into our part of the world in all their fancy cars, but if I go for a run in my Series 2A Gunbuggy, they all look at the Gunbuggy (yeah I know they ain't lookin at me!!!!) I suppose it's some sort wannabe LOL anyway it's a hoot specially when a horse drawn cart full of Jap tourists all start chattering and the horse drawn cart stops and you are the center of attention, thats happened a few times LOL anyway cheers Dennis:wasntme:
PS. and the fancy car well its just a car, dont matter how much aluminium you put on it you wont turn it into a Land Rover.
