Looks like a take on the Renault Clio Sport V6.

i can see this being a very dangerous car
heavy engine behind the driver in a light weight car thats short
its going to be very twitchy in high speeds
more aerodynamic designs have to be applied i think for this car to be actually drivable

this rocket pocket trend is appealing...

Its ugly as pig cr*p IMO. I like the MKIV GTIs ALOT better. I'll pass on it, not to mention I hate hatchbacks.

Only thing its got going for it is that atleast its RWD.
