I like it but it looks strangely American. There was one I saw in Malibu that had like "22 wheels in chrome - yuk!

I quite like it's looks ...but you are right Deutsch..it does look American; after all, it was designed very much with the US market in mind ..as you know.

I like it too, just doesn't have enough character.

I saw it for the first time in the flesh this past week and I have to say the car is so dull looking it makes staring at a white wall for hours like fun.

There is just no excitement when you look at it… I get the same sensation looking at Camry from the 90s.

I think it’s unworthy of its badge.

That doesn't sound good, it goes on sale here in September, so will have to wait a long time till I finally see one!
