On a scale of 1-10, 10 being general "I puke every time I see it" and 1 being "I could be a passenger only if there were tinted windows" where would this one fall for you?
Based on (that rather odd) scale, I'd say it's a 2. And admittedly, I am coming around a but after looking at it more.
Most of it is fine. It's just the nose in the photo of the white car I don't like. And the rear looks like a Jetta, so while a derivative of every other car out there, it's fine.
Mazda and Kia seem to have the best designs in this segment.
As for VW, yeah they are pretty bland. But I think the Mk7 Golf Wagon is a good looking car that will age well.
