GG has styled a lot of VW cars but they still look distinctly different from his Maserati, Alfa and countless other cars.
The Brivido looks italian like Golf doesn't
While it might break into several of VW group's established GTs, they don't have a GT in this class that looks
italian . In this segment, a customer is not going to buy a Bentley instead of a Maserati, they will buy a Bentley for it's interior, exterior and badge. Or a Maserati for the same reasons. I'm not sure they would pit them against eachother.
Now that spring is coming, some really nice cars start to park outside my office building. This week's "catch" are a Bentley coupè, 911 Turbo, Panamera Diesel, BMW M3, a nice Camaro and a mere S6. I found them all interesting but not attractive. Brivido I find attractive.
