The Mk5 Golf looks like a Toyota Matrix - which is fitting since the Mk5 Jetta is a Toyota Corolla with a VW badge.
It seems like they lose it on the odd numbered marques and regain in the even. Remember the ugly, squat Mk3's? It was so badly designed that the wheels always looked too small no matter what size rims you used.
I was really hoping they'd go back to European styling when they designed the Mk6's but it looks like they're going to stick with Japanese design.
