some SERIOUSLY ugly vehicles there man.

I weep for the future.

Agreed!

Yeah, I reckon manufacturers have all gone through the "wind tunnel" stage that made every car look the same, and now are looking to make bodies distinctive. The only way that they can do this and keep low cds is making the cars ugly! Having said this, the Golf is an exception in my view. (I'm seeing more and more Golf 5s on the road here and they are nearly all diesels. Good!)

just looked at the pics again, what in the name of napoleons bell end is going on with the rear lights on that Jetta ?

Reminds me of a fried egg !!

The rear lights are looking very like front lights! Reminds me of the old porsche 916 (that dates me), with this car the intended direction of travel was not immediately obvious...
