Looks like a cross between a Hon-duh S2000 and a dump truck.

It will now probably sit on a Boxster platform, as all the hard work has been done, with a few minor cosmetic changes and perhaps an engine change, and voila, you have a new VW at half the price of the Porsche.

I think the Boxster would do better as a VW. Us the 2.0 turbo powerplant, drop the price $5k, and you could sell quite a few.
Have you owned a 914? This smells very 914ish

914's are cool.

Hope this car actually hits the market. I got a fist full of money ready to plunk down on this new VW/Porsche/Audi whatever.

Will order it with every DELETE option I can. Except the Power gotta have power

Fugley...but that's just my 2 cents..
It seems like the trend in cars now is to make the front look like some kind of face...
Guess I'm just old school...I just got a 99 boxster and love that car...the lines are great and it's a blast to drive!

that's way too cool looking to have ever been touched by an audi design team.

That is my plan for my next P-car. Used Boxster.
