Looks like a whale's mouth filter thingy. I wish they'd get their sh*t together and realizes nobody likes the humongous kidney grilles. This car looks like a cheap ripoff of itself.
I'm probably gonna get verbally beat to a pulp by at least 2 people but: IMO, this car is a show of a good idea executed awfully. apologies in advance
in regard to the ID3, what do you actually not like about it? the "egg" shape is kind of weird, but so was the shape of the beetle (and I consider the Id3 the possible replacement to the golf, like how the golf replaced the beetle). and in regard to the e46, the hangover from the 90's was still lingering:
First of all, I don't like its shape. It looks like a minivan, but it's not. Or even better, like a pillow on wheels. Beetle is another story, as it's design was concieved in 1930s, when such a shapes were modern. I'm not a big fan of Beetle either, but Beetle looks million times better. Honestly, VW should've better made a electric Golf 8, like PSA is doing, making one car, but whole variety of drivetrains.
currently the Golf and ID3 will coexists for a while and theyll see what sells better (wich currently my guess is that it will be the Golf)
