Put yourself into VW"s shoes. It would be truly silly not to bring a couple of those Chinese builds over to Europe and North America and test them - whatever testing means in the context, driving, focus groups, inside opinion gathering, whatever. It might not ever mean much or become a thing, but not testing is leaving opportunities on the table.

I do hope that any non-Chinese version will simplify and streamline the design to the ID4 level. Front and back undersides of the pictured vehicle are truly ugly.
