It's lovely... in a strange, warped kind of way. I'd have one. But, only if it was significantly more affordable than a GTI, which it won't be I don't reckon.

Notice the very interesting and unusual placement of the brake calipers; do you think this is unique to the concept car for aesthetic purposes? It does make for a rather intriguing symmetrical aspect of the car's styling...

Normally, front drivers have the calipers placed at the 9 o'clock position on the front discs. Here they're at the 10 or even 11 o'clock position. I like.
