MUUUCH better application of the rounded headlamp design than that of the Golf and Jetta.
There's a side view in autoweek that looks pretty nice.
I'm just glad I bought my Jetta before VW toyotafied their lineup
::edit::
the picture in question is below.

00ContourSE, totally agree. The side shot is beautiful.

Looks like they ruined the interior!

Front, sides and interior aren't bad at all....that rear end is hideous!

Looks like it is going to be a big heavy pig of a car.
Also looks like the price might go up even more.

The Audi lineage really comes through in that front shot.
With that large grill area, I could just picure a big-ass VW, like the big-ass Caddy crest on the Escalade. Thank goodness they didn't do it.
I know it's a step up, but that really looks more dignified that the new Jetta.
I don't like the concave trunk, although I like the look down the side of the car. But the interior looks great.
That new 3.6l should more than cover the increase in size.
Absolutley something I would look at.

Well... to quote comments on another board... it looks like the mating of an Audi A6 and a BMW 5-series... not ugly like the current one, but nothing special either.
Also, appears to be an improves interior compared to the current Spartan econobox one... may actually have texture, ambience, and style. But WTF is that canyon behind the gauges?
That said... it's better than the current one, but nothing great either.
However, I do get a bit odd thinking of it as a 6th generation Passat... it's the 4th generation here in the U.S.
Before that we had the Quantum and the Dasher.
