Whats the point of the Q30? What vehicles or segments was it designed to go up against? THinking about that I've come tot he conclusion I have no clue so i thought id pitch it to the forum and see what the community thinks.
Will Q30 be more of a smallish hatch designed to go up against the likes of the Audi A3, BMW 1-series and Mercedes A/CLA classes? It already will share bones with the two Mercedes, complete with powerplants. Where it gets interesting is Mercedes is also building a small SUV off the A/CLA platform dubbed the GLA.
So Q30 could also easily slot into a segment fighting the likes of Mercedes GLA, BMWs X1 and Audis yet to debut Q3.
The third option is the Q30 is designed for BOTH segments in an attempt to steal sales from the small crew of lux CUVs available and from the hot hatch scene. The biggest risk with a strategy like that is the Q30 ends up satisfying neither of the segments it desperately needs.
Put it to the polls!
