Edges cannot be dictated by the ergonomics of a supple human body. Possibly they could be dictated by manufacturing needs or ease, or by a structural proposition. Both the Focus and Evoq are well-known examples of the 'new edge' styling - and the MZ-S shows such an influence. I'm not sure where the Volvo comes in - I don't think there's a camera on the market that box-like, stodgy, or boring looking...well, perhaps the Maxxum 9 (which, incidentally, I rather like). >>My Civic Si absolutely destroys the Wolfsburgh-built Golf I replaced >>it >>with in terms of mechanical reliability.

[Pal] No, the Mexican VWs are the only cars doing as badly in reliability as American cars. No other European cars and no Japanese cars come close. Do you deny this, or did you misunderstand? I won't start in on Audi TT quality control since I know you are an Audi fan.
