I see a similarity to the 6 series from this angle. Not it's necessarily a precedent, just an observation.

Whoever made fun of VW's image before should think again. Just because VW's got Audi it doesn't mean VW themselves can't make a proper entry-level luxury car that looks good.

Great car, but lame article.
Just to set things straight, the paint is custom, but the aero/ground-effects are straight out of the VW accessory catalog.
The brakes and suspension are revised, with lower height.
The article makes it sounds like that gorgeous interior is custom. In fact, they took the stock seat covers apart and re-stitched them with piping that matches the custom paint.
Otherwise the interior is bone stock.
I have a lot more photos of it than the article, and spent a long time talking to the VW folks about it.
It is so impressive it was drawing folks of all ages and demographics over. Its just an amazing car to see in person, and believe me, the competition for your eye-balls at SEMA is incomprehensible!
