no to all
I received an email from designer who did this project and he agreed to quote him:

"Hi Marek,
Yes that was a student project I did in early 1990.
Sponsored by (here he wrote manufacturer) the goal was to appeal to a younger crowd that (here he wrote manufacturer) was trying to capture.
Horrible colour🥴


and

I just remembered that part of my theme was to give the front windscreen to look of a pair of sunglasses

and

It was an indivisible project - I was the only designer.
If it had a name, I can’t remember...

The comment about this being an early 90s attempt at a younger demographics reminds me of the VW Vario concepts. So was this one also supposed to be based on the Golf Syncro?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
