Looks bloody awful, have they copied the new Citreon C4? These pics are very similar to real spy pics that I saw a month ago in Autocar, so I do believe it will be a close resemblence.

Indeed, Moff, they are "cleaned" of disguise and the HSC's wheels have been (crudely) overlaid!

The C4 uses a VW like arch architecture and has links to the GS and CX.

This is a very different design language. Peugeot or Mercedes is closer.

Looks very space age. But i don't like the idea of having all that power through the front

4WD or FR is def the way forward

I don't think there is any problem with having 200-300 through the front if they develop a good enough TC system. By all accounts the 147 GTA performs well enough with 250bhp through the fronts, as does the FRS. I know a few people with chipped Leon Cupra R's and they drive very well with 265bhp.

4WD is just too heavy.
