2007 L.A. Auto Show Ultimate Concept Winner: Audi Cross Cabriolet Quattro
When Mike Hanley, David Thomas and Joe Wiesenfelder sifted through the new concept cars at the L.A. auto show, there wasn’t a lot to rate. Out of the four we tackled, only one won unanimous praise from all three. That may make this sound like it’s not a very prized award, but the Audi Cross Cabriolet Quattro concept — come on Audi, shorter names, please — was a stunner.
“Whatever the demographic, the Audi was a stunner in person, especially the golden color scheme and great overall proportions,” Thomas observed.
“With assertive looks and that pumpkin paintjob, it gets the nod,” Hanley added.
Wiesenfelder was less impressed; the best he could muster was a ho-hum, “It’s becoming hard to stand out in this market, and Audi has done it with this high-riding, large-wheeled convertible.”
Still, Audi keeps delivering eye-candy fit for rotating stands, and we salute them.
