I've been teasing a Ford fanatic on a forum calling it boring
My reasoning: (agree to disagree)
Rear from a Galaxy
also has hints of Lexus/Mazda6
Front has hints from Lexus GS series but also heaps of Mazda influence.
Finally it will sell and become a figment in the crowd within a month
BTW I have see it in flesh at MIMS so I do have 1st hand experience
ps Passat maybe boring and conservative but thats how I like it
