I preferred the Jetta to the Golf. I think I prefer the Focus saloon to the Focus hatch. Sometimes, I preferred the previous shape Astra saloon to the Astra hatch.

But this?

*shudder*

When I first saw it I thought it was an old Omega.

Looks even more like than the 5-door

This is a joke, surely??

Or have BMW just gone one step past complacent?

Ahh, c'mon, you just have to have a bit of vision. Why do you think manufacturers tape up mules? It's not like little kids thinking they can't be seen if they cover their eyes up; taping up the lights and covering any detail areas with tape really does make a car look considerably different, if it didn't, they'd have a better way of disguising them.

It's not supposed to look too much like the end product, that's the whole point!

Truly shocking, the motoring equivalent of gold shoes (or golfing trews).

Why do I get the feeling that in 50 years or so, Bangle will be in business textbooks as the perfect example of how to mullah a successful company!
