As those photos are of a concept vehicle (which are usually more
"radical" than the production version), I think the actual production
version of this car will be pretty cool.  Lose those gaudy bling-bling
wheels, and the futuristic interior, and I think VW has a winner on
it's hands with that car.  Better looking than most of the other
"glimpses" I've seen of the upcoming Scirocco...

My $.02...
