VW has a California studio? Like the Japanese? To pump out NA-specific SUVs CUVs and fat sedans? Count me out.

Thanks ICEMAN, I’m getting tired of this website. Half of you are rude and incompetent and rather than create some kind of community you say shit like that. Congrats, retard.

Based on the Camaro, any chance his New New Beetle will look even more like the original than the current one does?

It was engineered by Taiwaneese, partly built by Chineese, and assembled by me in America.

Shuttle (the brand of my barebones computer) doesn’t claim to be “An American Revolution” though. For that matter, I wouldn’t want the computer to be engineered by Americans because history has shown them to be utter crap.

Your computer… ordered by an American, designed by the Japanese, built in China, serviced by a call center in India.

I am referring to the ‘cartoonish’ comment way above this one.

Can we get an edit button?

Just what we need, Manga VW.

GM is certainly having a hard time holding on to designers. I’d wager that the VP of design has no freakin clue what he/she is doing and these guys aren’t happy at all.

as long as it doesn’t take VW 5 stupid years to come out with one model, this will be good.

He’s undeniably talented. He can’t be judged on Camaro alone, as he had to work within narrow parameters. I’ve visited Art Center in Pasadena, and it is da place.

It will be interesting to see if Audi’s stupidly large grills grow any larger. They’re already threatening to swallow the entire front end….

I was wondering what the kid in “Gran Torino” ended up doing with his life.

Not sure how much he had to due with the Velite, but that car is certainly nice, more designer than stylist. The Camaro – he HAD to make it retro, that is what the customer base wants. And it worked.

VW/Audi needs serious help to break it out of the ‘bauhaus’ design philosophy. We shall see.

Perhaps there is hope for a future Audi model that doesn’t look almost exactly the same as all the other outdated Audi models?

Yep, she’s a funny old world… the Germans are hiring a Korean because they suck at selling Americans cars made in Mexico. Someone let me know if there’s a punchline to that one because I’m stumped.

“Designer”?
Actually the Camaro was designed by someone else in the mid 60′s.
This guy just updated it…. in a cartoonish sort of way.
If he didn’t already have something to work with, would he have been able to come up with the new one?
Stylist… yes. Designer… hhhmmmmm.

He better not bring in “fat/chunky” designs similar to the camaro!

Good news, no bland Golf anymore. That’s what VW was missing, aggressive designs.
With exciting design and VW quality, and now unsafe Toyotas, no doubt that VW will be No1 in the next few years.
