Look at this view; 1979 Audi 80 facelift (brother to my Passat, 1974 Audi 80 and 1977 Audi 50 LS (brother to the VW Polo).

1977 Audi 50 LS (brother to the VW Polo). Audi built the first gen Polos alongside the 50s.

The only time I have ever seen an Audi 50 in the flesh, they (and their Polo equivalent) were never sold in Australia

The older brother to my Passat, they are identical under the body work. Audi 80

This dissected 1979 Audi 80 was interesting to compare to my Passat.

@vwdasher it is like a time traveler designed the Ro80. Never ceases to amaze me.
@vinc such a beautiful design, and so under appreciated.
@vwdasher @vinc Automotive great what if...
What if NSU had that design with a conventional 4-pot engine? Would it have sold and would have sold enough for them to stay independent of Audi - at least for a while!
After the rotary engine recalls are supposed to one of the reasons they sold up.
@DazzlingDamo @vinc darn good question. I'd hope it would have sold more with a conventional engine, hopefully more people appreciated the lovely design and lines.
