Looks like a cross between the volvo c30 and the new sti.

nice to see performance hatch backs making a return but someone needs to do one that doesn't look like butt.

Maybe honda will get it right and bring the civic si hatch back.

Been watching it's progress for some time, awesome car. Hans Stuck and Carlos Sainz faired pretty well to in the race. Did anyone else watch the live stream on the website? It's awesome watching real racing with out commentary.

There has always been two camps, those that are into the Euro flavor, and the JDM flavor. I came from the Euro side, and always loved the clean design. It took me awhile to appreciate the JDM flavor. Different flavors for sure, but I like'em both! I'd be curious to see it in person. As I now most of our Subaru's, Evo's, Nissan's, etc. aren't photogenic, but see them in person, and the perspective often changes for the better.

Well, that's precisely the reason I don't like the new Scirocco.
It looks like a Japanese econobox to me. It's boring as hell

Before we pass judgment we should see what the actual street car version looks like. Not a completely custom race car version of the car.

True, but that's just like any other tuner car. Beside throw on the right wheels , adjust the stance and most cars at least look 25% better.
