It's a bit more design for designs sake - basically part of the international unwritten competition to fit as many surfaces and lines on a car's bodyshell as possible. It's more successful than the i3 - and a perfect example of how if you design something that long and low, it's almost bound to look good - but when you try and force those same lines on a 'normal' proportioned car - like the i3 - suddenly it looks a mess, and shows just how messy the form language is.
Lots of criticism gets aimed at VAG for being 'boring', but as a for instance, the Golf is protected, and always looks clean, simple and a neat execution, and ages well. I still think the Mk 4 looks great today, and doesn't look dated in the car park, in spite of its 18 years of age.
18!??!? That car came out 18 years ago!? Jesus H Christ, I feel old, now!
