    Exactly what i was thinking.
    When you consider how awesome the CC looks you wonder how they could go so wrong with the new passat.

    I have spent the past two weeks in Germany, and they are everywhere over there, the look does grow on you though.

    looks like a polo sedan on steroids from the front!!
    i saw plenty of the new polo sedans when i was overseas earlier this year in feb.

    r designers getting lazier, or is the manufacturer processing getting lazier!! sure i understand this whole idea of "smarter" production builds by having a common platform which can b adjusted to suit, but this is plain lazy & boring!!!

    Unfortuantely when a company decides it wants to be the number 1 seller they lose any ability to design uniquely and instead go for cost cutting and corporate identity (all have boxy heaflights etc) to price aggressivley and thus get more sales.

    I think we will only see more of a decline in awesome styling from Toyota (Volkswagen).
