I think the new look was a good move. Although as said before, when i first saw it i instantly thought big astra. Definitely looks better than the other models.
The fact is though, give it 1.5 - 2yrs, and they'll be running the roads like ants on their way to a jam doughnut. They'll be commercial vehicles. They'll be used for government vehicles, business vehicles, cop cars, rent cars etc etc then every fourth man and his dog will have one.
In saying that though, if ever needed a big car to drag stuff around in i'd probably get a commodore or an xr6t, and be just like every other shmuck....
EDIT: spelling
