That is a restomod that I think is hot. He nailed it.

I saw that car yesterday on DSE's Facebook page; very nice build! Not sure I like the color or the headlights, but I love the rest of it! Very high quality, high $$$$$$ build, with a high level of detail!! I just checked, and the side mirrors alone cost $2200 a pair!! It's interesting that it features DSE's as-yet-not-available C3 suspension!!

The little slit headlights remind me too much of the nose of my old opel gt,
Some other parts i like other parts not so much,
But the build and workmanship is sweet

Love it or hate it an amazing build. A lot of work went into the design and build of that front end.
Add me to "I like it" side. Very different.

Yeh, as with most of the above! A lot of things that I wouldn't have done myself, but very well executed and I really quite like the result. Impressive!

Got home and watched the autocross vid. Looks like it has some very serious potential once the driver has some more time with it. Very nice!

A lot of nice things to say about the car, some not so nice. The not so nice is that I don't like the wing and the interior is plain. I like gauges, sorry I'm old school.

I like the exterior.
The only reason to go gauge-free on the inside is to save money mass-producing cars intended for both right and left-hand drive markets, or to prepare the market for self-driving cars. The new Tesla Model 3 does this, and it's awful.
There must be a happy medium between this Skoda, and sitting on a medieval couch with a laptop on the side of your vision. This car is should make the driver happy. Why ruin the experience just to chase a non-driving trend?

I like gauges too- the screen -to me- just kills it-
now this is a little overkill!!!
