Default Audi kills the Shooting Brake concept

I doubt many people will shed any tears over this decision. I didn't know what they were thinking with this weird looking hatchback.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autospies.com/news/Audi-Kills-Shooting-Brake-Concept-11957/">Link</a></li></ul>

Default OT: What happens to all the prototypes?

do they end up in Audi's car museum, Johan de Nysschen's garage, get destroyed, etc? The TT V10 Le Mans Quattro Concept/R8 might be a nice addition to someone's car collection &lt;/wishful thinking&gt;

Default Ah damn, that is a shame...I was really looking forward to it...

The new TT design does not appeal to me, but the chassis does....The Shooting Brake offered a sporty and everyday practical bodystyle...
I'd say they killed it because it would hurt S3 and TT sales...

Most auto show prototypes like the Shooting Brake go into the Audi Museum collection.
