Wow, the jetta is definately taking some of the styling cues from the passat. Hard to tell much from those pics, but i like the direction they are taking them.

Now, if they only improved QC and got some better dealers, i may actually consider another VW. Until then, no thanks :)

Is it me, or does it kinda look like they took a mazda 3, squeezed its neck, and watched its eyes bug out?

I like it, except the headlights.

Well, I can say that I definitely don't like where that Jetta's styling is going. :(

I guess there are a lot of ugly cars out there. Actually, I think it's more that people take time to get used to new car designs. There are cars that I thought were ugly when they first came out, and now I'd consider buying one.

I think it looks pretty good. I could live without the chane in the Jetta headlights, but could be worse.

My girlfriend has a 2002 Jetta TDI and she has had zero, zip, zlich quality problems with her car

first picture you cant even tell what it looks like.

the second... i dont like... it might take some getting used to(the c6 was like that for me) but the lights... the lights dont look to hot. and the rear reminds me of a mazda(like aphex said)

A few that come to mind are the Jeep Liberty, the new Altima... I hate to admit this, but I even kind of like the Honda Element in certain colors.

The design can be summed up in 1 word ... BORING!

VW has always been like that though.

gosh damn. its so ugly.

VW/Audi are some ugly cars man. they've gotta take a look at the BMWs and MBs. thats what im sayin'. even volvo looks good. cant imagine how people can say hondas are bland when they see this. fortunately the GTI is semi-okay looking. VW has become the toyota of german makes- without the reliability. :(

the new A6 is gorgeous. they actually made the rear end look decent.
