I should really like this car but theres something about it that puts me off. I think its because its just a hash of parts from the VAG range rather than a golf thats been completely rebuilt into a super car. More of a computer calculation than a car built with passion.

I think it's stunning, even for a golf. Imagine that in your rear view mirror roaring away.

You obviously don't know how mass produced cars are made.

But the way any car is made on scale is by using parts that are readily available. floor pans and transmissions are the most common things to be shared. The point being as that by your theory you wouldn't like any car ever made because the parts aren't really ever designed to be dedicated to one cars use, as it isn't even necesarry to do so.

^ i agree,

trouble is though with that is its just starting to sound like a re-shelled lambo. And alothough it looks amazing i know which one id go for

Id try and sort out and keep the rwd if poss just to give it that looney factor which is what will sell cars like that
