looks like a ppq.

I will be getting one as soon as its released and cleared by MSP.
I do LOVE the slide tho. Give me all those wide, deep, fat serrations and what looks to be a grasp lip vertically at the rear of the slide. Yummy yummy.
Not sure what this would do that a PPQ wouldn't, but it does still tempt me. HK puts out quality guns, so I'm sure this will be one accurate and reliable SOB. I do wonder what the trigger feels like though. I am currently on the strike-one pistol flavorade, so ehh....
I do really like the rear design of the slide though. The rear of the grip isn't really undercut that much and it looks like the bore-axis on the vp9 is probably higher than a glock/m&p...similar to the walther. I also prefer the mag release of the p99(the long one that extends to most of the bottom of the trigger guard), because it's just so nice to be able to drop your trigger finger down to pop the mag instead of the button on the side. The mag release on this looks like other hk's where you're not able to really just fluidly drop your trigger finger down to pop it.
It is cool hk FINALLLY came to the realization that striker-fired is the way to go.

Didn't the article say the HK was making striker fired pistols 12 years before Glock? Not so sure they think they have been missing out on something all these years.
