Audi Crosslane Coupe points at the future of German soft-roaders

The money shot at the Audi presentation of the Paris Motor Show clearly belonged to the world premiere of Audi's Crosslane Coupe concept, though the only conceptual part of the car is a trick plug-in hybrid drive train. The rest of it showcases design trends that are going to start showing up in Audi products soon, and will be fully implemented within three years. The Crosslane's interior, in particular, represents a huge design step forward for Audi, whose previous SUV offerings have been a touch bland.
