Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro was unveiled at Los Angeles Auto Show instead of the Q5 SUV that we all were expecting. But Audi is really thinking giving green line o the concept, and we might actually seen it on the roads as a drop-top version of the forthcoming Q5 SUV.

Brit Steve Lewis is design chief for Audi USA, which created the Cross Cabriolet. Speaking at the event, he said: "Such a vehicle has been talked about within Audi for quite some time, because nobody else has ever produced a cabriolet SUV before."

"If there is sufficient demand for around 5,000 units a year, this model could go into limited production, and arrive in showrooms around 2010.
