looks impressive, but doubt it would make it into production. althought there was the Renault Clio V6 that had a mid-engine layout and it was limited production.

I agree, it would never make it here even if it went to production, as the Engine is in the back seat, plus I'm sure it would only be avalible in the US only.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Purely a styling and engineering exercise, I think. Basically, "If we really wanted to, we could, but we'd rather not due to cost and liability."
Kind of like a larger scale Focus FR200, the old make the enthusiasts and fanboys drool, then not make it.

2 of my friends had/have VW one Corrado and another '99 Passat......the biggest POS ever thats what they say......S/C Corrado was fast though but not for long, Passat keeps breaking no matter what....always a problem with it.....they had sooo many problems with those cars its not even funny, .....in and out of the shops....so they can't even say anything about my Ford
i guess it depends if u get lucky or not with those VDub cars

The VR6 Corrardo was good... the S/C one is a heap. Passats... well, you can take a PASS AT owning one, but you'll likely trade it in.
Now a Golf GTI with a DSG... *drool*
