SOUL_ REASONS TO BE DIFFERENT BUT BE WARNED The Soul is not a car for people who wish to go unnoticed, which is why it caused such a stir when it was unveiled at the recent Paris Motor Show.

Then again what else would you expect from designer Peter Schreyer. Renowned for his uncompromising vision on the Audi TT and new VW Beetle, his name is a byword for timeless design and style. Black bezel headlamps The Soul s exceptionally distinctive black bezel headlamps give the car a cool, high-tech look. Rear tailgate/one touch handle The style of the rectangular tailgate hints at how simple life should be, providing easy access to the spacious boot. Just one touch to unlock then lift and the door will glide open effortlessly. Black bezel rear combination lights Contemporary high-mounted combination lamps offer enhanced visibility for following drivers, whilst also adding a touch of style. STAND_OUT from the crowd 4 5
