I know it's just a VW, but the Skoda Octavia vRS is pretty damn good looking. Almost looks like a Passat mated with a Kia, but not in a bad way.

The Wagon looks awesome too.

The side shot of the wagon looks 100% Audi to me.

A co-worker picked up a Kia Spectra and proceeded to black-out the wheels/grill/trim/etc. with PlastiDip. That thing looks hawt now, and it didn't look bad to begin with.

The sedan looks good, but the wagon looks freaking awesome. Whatever Anja is arguing, I'm on her side. She's hotter than the rest of you.

Does that mean the door panels are going to fall apart and all the trim will break on it? That's what all the other VW's I've been in have done.

Styling is slowly but surely making a comeback, after a very dark decade or so.

As in it's no different than a Golf or A3 since it shares the same platform. I said it because "that guy" would come and reply with "I don't see what's so special, it's just a VW".

That's about as vanilla looking as it gets. If you want to be invisible in traffic, get one of those. Sad.

Nice looking, though I couldn't help but notice this....

You and I agree a lot musically, but I disagree on styling. I would rather have something handsome, clean, and well-proportioned than something that looks ugly but dramatic just so it can stand out.

I agree.

I mean it is more handsome then a lot of cars out there but it wouldn't make me take a second look.

One man's "clean lines" are another man's "boring." I like this, personally, though I do agree that it leans toward generic overall. But I like the crisp lines, and I would say it's pretty handsome. It's certainly better styled than any other appliance vehicle that springs to mind.

As would I. It's just too plain.
