just a second thought from my last post...
after comparing a shot of my car to the ft-1... i can see a couple of design queues from the mk4 in there...
the rear section of the car mostly... ive always loved the mk4's "hips" and it looks like they integrated the "hips" look nicely on the ft-1.
please excuse my garbage ms paint skills:
EDIT:
while im at it... am i the only one that sees cat fish? lol.
