Looks good, can't wait to see how it performs.

Love this, although I'm kinda confused what this might mean for the A3/A4 models. No matter, those looks with turbo 5 cylinder with 368lb/ft of torque at 1600RPM with AWD and 7 speed dual-clutch transmission? Yes please.

I love this car too, but its an odd duck, as it makes me think XJ, and with the new design language it doesn't really fit Jaguar now.

Eh, not awful, but I don't really like it any more than the Apollo.

Could be good, seems to be an Elise competitor. Hopefully they can get Ferrari to help them with setup so it doesn't end up like the 8C (gorgeous but lousy to drive).

Like it mostly, but could use some work. The side profile really makes me think of the old Datsun Z. Not sure that the Leaf powertrain is a good fit, it would need to be beefed up to match the looks I think.

On its own, its ok, kinda generic boxy van-type vehicle. As an homage to the Microbus, its just awful. The 2001 Microbus concept was much better. This just looks like a Scion with a two tone paint job and a big VW logo slapped on the front.

I can't say I thought too much of the other VW concepts at the show either. Their designs are all over the place these days. Some look fairly generic, then you have the swoopy Passat CC, the aggressive Scirocco, the Beetle, and then this new sharp-edge sleek look they're going for.
