Wow, this car looks like a zero. Delay it, and put the Golf GTI-R in Detroit!

what part of "artist impression" or "rendering" don't you get ?? is it soooo hard ?.. this design isn't related in any way with VW. and frankly, having seen the designer work they did with the Scirocco, new Golf GTI, Passat CC, etc I quite trust them about the looks of this new roadster. so, please, shut up.

If gives readers ideas of how the car MIGHT look like. Judging by this, I'm not sure if it will turn out to be a good car. I'm just saying I'll rather want to see the GTI-R rather than this. Don't chat about what you don't know.

sharing a platform with the R8? no way! do you guys know how expensive the R8/Gallardo ASF chassis is?

the concept r was a good looking car that would easily take sales from toyota and may be even the mx 5 but this render is hideous and i dont think they would make it look like the scirocco if they werent just going to call it scrirocco roadster. it has a totally different lay out so i really dont (hope) it doesnt look like this.
