Audi cancels A1 and A2 EVs

[Cheezmo]

Decided that pricing just under 50K would be too high...

Same problem Nissan has with the LEAF that they are correcting with the Infiniti LE... there are plenty of people willing to pay $50k for a car but it needs to look like a $50k car.

 

[thankyouOB]

sad.
audi knows how to build a car.

I hope you are right but if it only looks like a $50K car and doesn't have the added range and performance that people are going to also expect for a $50K car, I don't expect it to do any better than the Leaf...
