It wouldn't take a huge lot of creativity to make their car stand out of the pack. The new styling appears to me to be even blander than the current offerings..
The current competition are all as bland and uninteresting as each other. These are the basic choices in large family cars from 32K to 41K
The cheapest is the Civic at 32K. The most expensive are the Commodore and Hyundai at 40K and the Commodore wagon at 42K.
The Commodore wagon wins for me, but probably because it's the only one that looks any different to the others really. Both of the Skodas (now a VW company) look a little different too, not bad.
Something a little adventurous styling wise was desperately needed for the new car, but they blew it again.
