I dont mind the back, but the front is uglier.

I guess the main differences are under the skin, otherwise I don't see why they bothered changing it.

I prefer our front end, but I do like your rear end.

The NA one isn't that much different.  How did this car not get mutilated?

I don't care for the odd shaped exhaust tips, but overall:  Very Nice.  Looks a bit more muscular than the current version.

I like most of it but I think where the front fender meets the rest of the car looks a little odd.

It looks interesting.

I'm going to have to get used to that front, but the back looks very nice.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

I like it.  How much does it really have in common with the Eurasian car?

I like the rear 3/4 view of the wagon.  Other than that, I prefer the current 6 styling.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

The wagon I posted is the European one, sorry.

The intent of my original post was "are we getting something as hot as that?"

Looks OK, seems wider. They need to make the headlights bigger, maybe with some kind of Z shape.

Doesn't look that different from the Euro model to me.  A little bigger, maybe, but the styling is very very similar.
