Its overall design is more contemporary and much sharper.

Somehow, it looks both roomy and compact.  More than that, it looks like it would be a dream to drive.  I typically like smaller cars myself; I feel like, for me, they are easier to manage.

Well, a VW lover can dream, anyway, but we are going to have to keeping waiting and seeing for a while yet.
