Have not heard anything since its production was stopped in 2005. Why was it stopped? Is there a newer shape coming up?
Anybody has any ideas??

Audi have an A1 in the pipeline - do a web search and you'll find some info. I doubt the A1 will be as ground breaking as the A2 was. In Germany you could have a very low fuel consumption A2, probably the forerunner of todays eco models some manufacturers have in their line up.

A1 due in a couple of years, but it's far removed from the original philosophy of the A2. A1 only has three doors and is a smaller version of the A3 to provide an alternative to the BMW Mini.

The A2 was an horrific car according to two previous owners I know.
One, a petrol, was plagued with running issues and suspension faults. They had it from new but after two years they could no longer stomach the continual hassle it presented.
Apparently the dealer didnt exactly help the situation either.
Customer now drives a BMW 120 and is very happy with it.
It was prob stopped because it wasnt making any money or not enough - theres usually a sound business reason behind why a car is sold.

I had a similar experience with my A2's - the first one (brand new) was eventually replaced by the dealer, although the second A2 exhibited different faults. Thankfully I got shot shortly afterwards. Audi were not interested and I've vowed never to touch them again - over rated in my books. Two identical model cars should not exhibit different faults unless there are issues with build quality.
But I obviously bought the A2 in the first place, and I did love the shape, the interior space compared to the overall dimensions and the exclusivity of not seeing many other A2's on the road and when you did a cheery wave would usually be exchanged between drivers.
Due to the light weight of the vehicle the car would rock from side to side when the windscreen wiper was on, and the aluminium did nothing to keep the noise of a light rain shower out!
