I'm sneering, my vw hatch has the same power and that's considered behind the competition in that segment. It's one of those instances when you know they could do much better but haven't for some reason (style trumping performance most likely). Considering the likely price segment, that's not too impressive. The design is meh...looks sleek but overstyled a bit too much but then again it's a concept so who knows what the final product will look like. I doubt this will give any performance competition to the BMW 1 series, that's for sure.
