NOT SURE IF I REALLY LIKE IT OR NOT.
I DO LIKE THE KINDA CHOP TOP LOOK, THE LENGTHENED FRONT END GIVING IT A LITTLE MORE OF A VOLKSROD LOOK, BUT THE BACK LOOKS LIKE THE AUDI TT I THINK.
WHATS YOUR OPINIONS?

Could be worse. Less toyish and charachature-like than the old NB. if they get 10 ears and decent sales out of it, it's worth whatever the tooling costs. They're free advertising.

I think it's cool they're trying to bring it back into the scene but I would go for a more retro look.

I think bras or 'stone guards' as they are referred to across the pond are cool.
I wish I could drive my Ghia to Denmark, after today, I would go...
