I prefer the rendering in the initial post if I am honest, really hoped the next forfour would look like that.

TBH the new A class if they make anything close to the concept will be the nicest looking small car around in my opinion.

This suggests the next forfour will be a rear wheel drive double clutch gearbox thingy!

Kinda like an Audi TT ;)

It's a shame that in 99 out of 100 cases, the actual car when it is produced only
bears about 70% resemblance to the concept that everyone raves about.

I guess that is due to the concept being the designers idea of what it should be....
and then the engineers get hold of it and work out what can and can't be done,
and finally the 'bean counters'  (accountants) tell the engineers what they actually
afford to have.

They should take a leaf out of Apple's book...
