O.M.G! We think its time for VW designers to get out of the 1980's design classes and get busy on something that is more fitting for our time. This thing above looks WAY worse that a 2005 GMC Acadia (and the Acadia still looks better than this today). My Lord! The words "boring", "stodgy", "More boxy than a 1970's Volvo"....uggh.
Did a great thing with the Mk7...but think about this for a moment...the Mk7 is really a mild redesign on the corners of a Mk6 which is a mild redesign of the corners from the mk5 etc., etc.....so not a whole lot of opportunity to mess up a naturally good design from years gone by. OK then.
We looked around, and did consider the new Tiguan (still boringly boxy, especially that horrid and hideous front grill on the 18's), I was hoping for something modern, instead BOXY and UGLIER than the 16's.
Gave up!
Enter....Mazada CX-9. Just bought one, Signature Series. i-Active AWD, so many safety features, HUD, Bose stereo, fast 2.5L turbo.....Smooth, quiet, AWESOME in everyway. Sorry VW...you need to get ahead of the times, not lag behind!
EDIT: PS...this thing ^^^^^^looks like something from the hertz car rental lot at Heathrow airport. Woah!
So all designs need to look like the new Nissan designs? Modern.
No thanks.
VW's are a more classy design.
New Tiquan likely drives well which trumps design for me.
MK5, MK6, MK7. I think goal is to improve without changing the box.
Again they could do a Nissan ugly design but then it would also look ugly.
