It looks like if the car was made of red/orange 'material' on the outside with a yellow roof it would resemble those Fisherprice cars with the castered wheels on front that were impossible to figure you when you were 4 years old.

It either looks like a huge hunk of plastic or made from some space age material that was rejected from the former Soveit space programme.

There is nothing here that really grabs me...anyone else?

It`s nice. But not for Unites States, they like big cars, and have a lot of space but for european or south american markets where space and fuel economy are the point what makes to buy a car.

I think that even in America, we need a car like this. The question is, will it be something that is approachable to the mass market, pricewise? Whether America has open space or not, it is time to come up with some truly efficient cars.
I personally like the looks. Let's hope that VW has Up!ped their quality/reliability as well.

No pics of the back end of this car? Is it truly a rear-engine car?
