One of  the theories that I've read regarding the Roadjet is that it's
a styling  exercise mainly focused on the Sportback theme. It looks
perfectly like an  evolution of the A3 to me, but other than an styling
exercise, I can't make  sense of it.

The car doesn't particularly do it for me but I'm used to not being the
target market for most manufacturers anymore.
What I find absolutely goofy ridiculous is their recent model names.
"Shooting Brake" and "Roadjet" ?!?!?
Whose the marketing genius coming up with this crap?!
It almost sounds like some of the low end oriental manufacturers that pull
nouns and verbs out of the language and use them awkwardly. An example is
"The
Great Big American Electric Motor Company". You can actually buy motors from
them.
