Not a terrible rear but I think it would look better in a darker color. Interior looks predictable but nice.

Decent, but the shortened trunk lends a hatchback look, which seems cheap. Give a sedan a proper trunk and people will come.

Another me-too design... They need to break from the mold and get people to like their cars for something else than the cost. Thats only way for them to get out of the falling-profits issues they have been having recently.

Yep, I thought the last gen was original and they sold a TON of them.
