The company is all geared up to launch the cut-price version of its baby SUV and has even started a marketing campaign regarding it. It is asking people to guess the price of the SUV and the one who guesses it closest to the launch price will get an all-expense paid trip to the launch party of the car. 5 others will get Audi merchandise.
