The Golf VI is a great car, but at the same time, it has many drawbacks.

It has great engines, it's spacious, it drives good, it feels comfortable to drive everyday it's solid, it will last for years and years and has great build quality. Yet it doesn't feel any groundbraking and special enough. It looks only slightly different from the mark V and it already does look old. It is only a year on the market and it looks very aged, with only the front lights looking a bit sharp. That said, this is a great car, and it will be my next car!

As for the whole VW line-up, we all have to admit, that appart from the Seat line-up, everything else from VAG looks almost the same. Nothing groundbraking or exciting at all. The cars look good because of the simple, clean and elegant design. But they are not beautiful cars! The are just appealling...

Isn't this a syndrome that affects most designers when it comes to redesigning an iconic car? I don't see what the big deal is.
