I like the shape... Personally think the grill treatment is a bit bland and the lights a bit too stylised... but otherwise pretty smick..

It will be very interesting to see the fuel consumption with the 1.6 diesel engine.
I have far more power than I need with my i30, I would trade some power for more space.

I think it looks OK - all these prototypes get watered down a little before production, just look at the i30 concept.  That new engine in it sounds like a pearler, hopefully the lag isnt too bad in the low RPM range as a result of the enormous power and torque figures.
