If you live in Europe and are looking for a cheapish car with the Audi logo up front, you’d better rush out to your local dealer right now. According to reporting in Autocar, the company will discontinue its entry-level A1 hatchback and Q2 crossover in a bid to free up manufacturing space for larger, presumably higher-profit vehicles like the A5 and Q5. And unfortunately for bargain hunters, neither subcompact offering will be replaced immediately, with the 90s-inspired, all-electric Audi A2 e-tron coming later this year to serve as the brand’s new starting point.
