Audi Article on Future Developments

Very interesting article w/ the head of Audi's product development.. a trend towards lighter cars w/ smaller turbo'd engines. BMW is on the right track already w/ the N54 -- now if we can just cut out fat on the bloated offerings of late. Get back to the 2002 roots of fun light road machines:

Lighter cars are nice, but I wonder how much more expensive they're going to be when they look more into more exotic metals, or advanced chassis research.
