Re: LAIAS: Audi Cross Cabriolet Concept

The perfect convertible for dirt trails and deep snow. Some like it dirty... others like it frostbitten.

You can also pivot the grille upwards and start a fire underneath it to grill meat you've hunted while in your Cross Cabriolet.

The problem is, in real life an "Off-Road" Convertible would flex so much that the damn thing would break in half during any serious off-roading, that is unless there was a truck chassis underneath it. True about the grille though, this is by far the ugliest Audi concept I have seen in recent memory.

Re: LAIAS: Audi Cross Cabriolet Concept

I guess the TT was starting to look too mundane, so Audi felt the need to push the quirky envelope even further.
