A recent article from this weekend:

Lots of comments to read under the articles, mostly on techcrunch.

My vote would be yes, in large part based on the styling of the concept
vehicle.  We have a New-Beetle in the family, it is a fairly bad car, and
IMHO was successful only because of styling.  Many people like to drive
something that looks interesting.
