It’s a trend that started with Honda and I hate them for it.

The front of this car looks nothing like a Mk7. If anything it looks like the new Corolla hatch.
And doesn’t address vehicles with foot operated parking brakes and a ratcheting mechanism. I have this in my 13 year old car.
The proportions of the front downward curve of the hood and headlights looks off to me. I think the headlights should be taller.
Back: Not bad. Just evolution
Not a fan of the front end. It's too squinty.
Mk 7.5 manual owner here. Yes on the power. Yes on the plaid. Yes on the manual. NOOOOOO on everything else! Especially touchpad screens instead of knobs and dials. GAH!
But, hey, it’s got a manual! That's something? Right? Right??!!
Fun Fact, if you push and hold down those parking brake buttons in modern cars, they’ll still clamp down pretty hard while moving. In the snow they definitely still lock the tires. Ask me how I know!
Hardly any new cars are actually cars. They’re some unholy thing between minivan and 4x4.
A 10 year old car is a new car in my books!
This seems like great advice if your goal is for people to needlessly wear out their parking brake shoes in the winter. A better solution for most people is to use winter tires, let Electronic Brake Force Distribution (on more modern cars) do its job, and call it a day. If you aren’t driving like a Muppet, you won’t…
I tried pulling the electronic parking brake button in my BMW. It just told me I was an idiot, and drove me into a tree.
Reason #72 that electric parking brake buttons suck.
I mean, it is such an easy mistake to make, who hasn’t done this a few times?
Man, somebody at Toyota is gonna be really pissed when they find out they got duped into spending $400M on an Adobe Illustrator file.
Maybe nobody actually wants a driverless car?
