With that in mind, new rumors are cropping up about a possible successor to the A2 &#8211; the quirky little hatch that never came to the U.S. and only had minor success in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s clearly room for another product and another concept between the A3 and A1,&#8221; Audi CEO Rupert Stadler told <em>AutoWeek<\/em> during the Geneva Motor Show. The new A2 would likely be A1-based and use an electric powertrain, possibly sourced from the A1 e-tron concept. European media has reported that the A2 successor is expected to debut by 2014, and no word has been given about a possible U.S.-spec version. However, with Audi keeping the A1 away from American soil, it&#8217;s likely that the A2 would be a Europe-only affair, as well.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-a1-e-tron-concept-0\/low\/\">Audi A1 e-tron concept<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-a1-e-tron-concept-0\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/g100001medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-a1-e-tron-concept-0\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/g100002medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-a1-e-tron-concept-0\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/g100003medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-a1-e-tron-concept-0\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/g100005medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/audi-a1-e-tron-concept-0\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/g100004medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-audi-a1-e-tron\/low\/\">Geneva 2010: Audi A1 e-tron<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-audi-a1-e-tron\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/01audia1etronlive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-audi-a1-e-tron\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/02audia1etronlive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-audi-a1-e-tron\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/03audia1etronlive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-audi-a1-e-tron\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/04audia1etronlive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-2010-audi-a1-e-tron\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/05audia1etronlive_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoweek.com\/article\/20100308\/CARNEWS\/100309933#ixzz0hbVl8vL9\">AutoWeek<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/08\/report-audi-working-on-successor-to-a2\/\">Report: Audi working on successor to A2?<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:30:00 EST.
