Never a huge fan of the recent style, so I like this one a good bit better.  [thumbsup]

I agree the front bumper looks like it's just stuck on there - not perfect just yet.

In the same way that ke$ha kinda has the lines of Carrie Underwood.

Missed it by THAT much.

Yup... not interested.

... at least the previous model came with an artificial flower, some ridiculously large blue shoes, a red nose and a rubber-orb-honking-horn.

looks like they are trying, although slightly, to emulate the Porsche Speedster

It is a good chassis (assuming it is the one I think it will be) but my (very biased) opinion is that with the Golf body it is far better as there is too much wasted space in trying to make it look all retro and all that bullshit.
If they end up actually putting this on that cost concious chassis that they are putting the newest of Jettas then it will truly be a turd all around.
