To me it looks like the Audi TT with big fenders.

    Those are designs that have been around for quite a while. VW has
    killed the projects as far as I know. I can tell you that tey
    cannot sell those designs in the U.S. because by our safety
    standards a driver can’t sit over or above the front axle. That’s
    why all the mini-vans have huge dash areas.

    VW may change their minds tomorrow, they teased a new new beetle
    at the Super Bowl.

      After a 32 year artistic coma, somebody at Volkswagen is back on
    track.

      Let's hope these designs stick without too much corporate
    dilution. It would create a new peak of interest in the old Type
    2's that might raise the market value.
