Looks quite different to me. I know VW has had that picture/concept out for years.

Anybody see that flat black Solstice that C&D/MT did an article on? I dont like flat black at all, but damn...thing looked like a viscous taratula!

In some instances I agree. It seems they mightve used the MR-S to base the Solstice off of. The rear end however reminds me bigtime of a 350Z, and those lights look like 2G Eclipse lights at the bottom

I'm pretty sure the VW concept has been floating around quite a bit longer than the Solstice has.

So basically it is a Boxter with different styling. Pretty cool if it is priced well under a Boxter.

Not really...doesnt have a flat 6 in back, its got a inline 4 in front...Boxter isnt really in the same realm as the Miata, MR-S and Solstice IMO. Its more "high end" and better in all attributes. Boxter compares better with Z3/Z4 and S2000

Last I read, this VW was rumored to be mid-engined like the Boxter. Figured maybe VW would borrow the Boxter, much like the Cheyenne and the Toureg are essentially the same vehicle.
