2019 Audi AI:me concept

draws very much on the A2. Particularly the spoiler at the back. Half expecting him to say "and if you look down here, you can see the engine management light is on, in a nice reference to the ahead of its time A2 of the late 90's early 00's" ?
 
In all of the articles about the AI:ME there is a lot of banging on about it being the city car of the future - but owing to the Juke-like blobby wheel arch bulges above the car is 1.9m - or around 23cm - wider than an A2 which isn't exactly city-friendly. I wonder - bearing in mind other Audi concepts in the past - if there are some hard points that will end up in a production model (ie, roofline, rear & front general details), but things like the lower window line (eliminate the quarterlight kick-up wedges at both ends and on the windscreen) and arches (reduce them to something cleaner) that disappear. Ie - Audi RSQ to R8, Avantissimo to D3 A8 etc.
