It's an interesting concept, but some of the design details just don't work.

The front elevation is just too bland and amorphous. The headlights are strong visual elements, but the rest of the front bumper lacks the sharp, geometric feel of the rest of the design. They wimped out on that end IMO.

At the rear, the positively enormous C-pillars are a liability, but the overall form of the rear 3/4s is pretty slick. I like the way they recessed the tail-lights into the corners of the rear fender, as well as the shut-line running from the hatch down to the tailgate.

If this is a hint toward the tC's sucessor, I'm interested.
Not to the point of buying one, but still....:shrug:
