    Urk. Instant dislike of the very Peugeot like "trying to eat too big a pie" lower grille / bumper. At least the black strip is at the top with this one, not set down a little as with Peugeot though...

    I really liked it when I first saw it a while back... Now I'm not too sure...

    It looks almost.. too flat and wide with the gaping mouth.

    "Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.

    The problem with the cars today is that they are now having to comply with pedestrian crash safety which is the reason for all the new front ends starting to look the same.

    Love how wide it looks - although the styling cues like the headlights just remind me of the pre-facelift Passat and even older, the Liberty's/Legacy's from Subaru.

    Do want
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
