I think someone at BMW might see it and decide to build an actual "competitor" car, the X5.5 Cabrio Sports Coupe Urban Activity niche car.

It's more likely VW's way of saying "Audi's ridiculous".

Or, if we put on our tinfoil hats for a sec, it COULD be a market study. See how many people say they thought it was cool on different forums, decide if the Audi's worth making.

/Yeah, that's a silly idea.
//Then again, marketing guys ARE silly.
///And it doesn't feel like German humour.
////That's usually based on logical fallacies.
/////Yeah, Germans are weird.
//////One more slashie for the road.

I don't understand, are you saying we shouldn't find the idea of a Touareg cabrio funny? A large automaker took the time to do a funny April-Fools style joke, and we laughed at it.

On the other hand, I can't say you're doing much to stop the "Germans don't have a sense of humor" stereotype.

It was more of a response to the thread title and some posts in this thread. In fact I wasn't talking about the prank site at all.

Just a bit of venting about the whole "ZOMG Germans+joke=unpossible" thing which is as annoying as the US and EU bashing IMO.

Well, I guess I have no sense of humor, whatever...
