Finally got rid of those horrible tail lights, touring backend looks out of proportion though at every angle. Non of the panels go together it looks like mis-matched styles going on. Only thing i like is the front and rear lights and the mid-rift pronounced line through the door handles.

I'm sorry but that looks poo!! What is it with car manufacturers these days- choosing designs that all look the same (mostly shite) and none of them have the balls to make something that stands out. It's all run by accountants and marketing execs these days!! Bunch of spineless ar5eh0les- same as f***ing polititions but that's another rant. But seriously just 'cause a car looks better than it's competition or an improvement on it's predacessor doesn't make it good looking- that's just subjective :(

Agreed, the current one looks like a Nissan or similar jap-mobile at the back with those odd shaped lamps.

That swage line through the door handles is way overdone, but the touring looks good. I still don't like the bonnet though.

That looks amazing, a great improvement on an already popular and stunning looking car

The interior looks fantastic. The original saloon interior is boring and bland but this looks great
