Not only did they remove the ugly and replace it with uglier they also replaced reliable with the K-series, aka the "Kettle Series" due to its head gasket issues...

Other than the lack of a vertical grill this looks a little like a mk2 Jetta. Simple and boxy.

I was shocked when I found this! If the chrome in THIS case were now body color, or completely eliminated, my ragging might go away!
