In Reply to: Where to look for sensible, well-styled cars, now that the German auto industry has been reduced... posted by Neil49 on September 03, 2004 at 21:15:01:

Your are right... I'm not much a fan of the new style on the VW/Audi Group cars... the big black grill I have seen on some cars (like some pics I've of the new MKV GTI) is ugly. The Audi A3 looks promising of all the new styling from VAG. I've only seen one of the new BWN & series in person... liked it much more than I thought it would... though I have my doubts about how that type of Bangle style will work on physically smaller cars.
Personally, from what I have seen of the current line-up of cars that I like styling wise is Mazda.
All I can say is buy used... I have a neighbor down the street who has a 02 or 03 M5.... what a nice looking car. While I have a 03 Passat wagon, I'm rather indifferent to its looks, but its brother, the current Audi A4 (better yet the S4) is one really nice looking ride... I like the clean muscular lines of this car.

Perhaps you haven't seen photos of the '06 A3? As I suspected, they've uglified the front end, consistent with the rest of the models. They took a perfectly fine body style and trashed it.
- I was thinking more along the lines of this A3.... - Rich Brkich 09:42:25 09/14/04 (0)
  Without the big black honking grill shown on the sportback picture in the posting above... less chrome, more body color.

  Yes, I have seen those photos, but I've also seen a picture somewhere (wish I could remember where) of the new A3 body color painted with no chrome ring type front... amazing how much better the car looks when finished off like that.
