Ayup.
Just wanted to hear everyone's opinions on the recent line ups of cars from Audi, VW, Seat and Skoda.
Whilst I'm not doubting the engines / performance of these cars I personally feel that some of the styling really has become unoriginal, or worse than it's predecessors.
For instance, the new Audi A3, Seat Leon and VW Golf... remove the badge from the back of the car and you've pretty much got the same looking car. Granted, the front end's are all different and look OK but what's going on with these back ends?
I don't reckon much to the new A3... I prefer the lights from the MK2 3 Door... I don't think the lights suit the car when they go right over into the tail gate.
Same with the new A6... Them lights are a serious downgrade from the previous model. You could tuck a jacking kit underneath that lip.
I felt Audi had the styling just right on the 8N A3 / S3's... but they seem to have done a 'Ford Focus' and messed up the looks for these newer models.
It's like the MK4 Golf.... they've never improved upon those looks. The car suited those boxy looks, the GTI and R32 still look quite fresh even to this day. I feel as though the Polo should've been the Golf (same looks, just make it bigger). The Golf suits being boxy looking, not all smooth with lights that go right over on to the tail gate. Improve upon the MK4's design.
Even the old Audi A4 B6 chassis with a S-Line or Votex kit still looks fresh... they got the look spot on with that model. Only thing you could've improved on them were the front bumper, using the newer style grilles. I still think that with the right kit they're one of the best looking Saloons on the road. The C7 Audi A6 S-Line was the only car since that's caught my eye.
I don't know... maybe I'm just a sucker for the older models, does anyone else feel that Audi and VAG are losing their touch with regards to the looks of their new models.
