5. I like the modular concept.

Even though the body as designed is an awesome throw back to the Meyers Manx, the body is detachable to allow for third party conversions. The aftermarket will surely come up with some alluring designs, but that will leave a lot of unwanted plastic shells to dispose of. On the other hand, it will create a supply of replacement parts for those who inevitably bang up their original bodywork.

Regardless, this should be a big seller if VW doesn't price it out of the market for Millennials who are undoubtably the target. It looks the part from every angle.

I saw this on Jalopnik yesterday, so thanx for posting.
