I just don't like VW because of the simple fact that their designs are boring.

Ahh, you're one of those drivers I do agree to a certain extent Rob that VW, like most other European car manufactu...manufacto...makers VW have been playing it rather safe in the design area these last few years but VW have never been about trendy over-styling, they tend to concentrate on build quality. I challenge you to drive any of the following cars and then come back on here and tell me they're boring (from a driver's point of view)

Any MK1 Scirroco
Any Corrado
MK2 G60
Mk2 Golf Rallye,
Mk2 16v GTi
Mk3 VR6
Mk4 R32
MK5 Gti or R32
Mk6 R

Plus, the older models are from the late 70's & early 80's and are all still regularly seen on roads. How similar models of Italian or French cars of the same age do you ever see? That's right, none. That's because they've all fallen to bits a long time ago.
