Fresh out of Weight Watchers, the next-generation Volkswagen Golf was apparently greeted by smoke-bomb wielding Greenpeace protesters. Wouldn’t something other than a fuel-efficient compact hatch be a better target for one’s environmental anguish?

Jkross22 Tens of people will be disappointed.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Basically a Qashqai/Rogue Sport that looks like the new Rogue, but with the Kicks name.
Fred I guess this also competes with the Honda HR-V. I'm driving a 2021 and this offers a few improvements, hopefully the driver assists work better, bigger screen, maybe nicer seats. I trust Honda more than Nissan for reliability. I'd miss the magic seats. And then there is the extra $5000 or so it would cost me.
Arthur Dailey 143 different interior options! I realize that is now untennable, but still would like more options regarding interior colours, including the instrument panels/dashboards. Black on black is depressing. Drum brakes and no HVAC system. And yet we have 'young whippersnappers' complaining about some modern vehicles being 'penalty boxes'. Try driving a family around in a 1960's stripped VW Beetle during a Canadian winter and then you can start talking about penalty boxes. ;-)Personally that final picture of the red coloured car with the 3/4 view shows it to be just beautifully proportioned. Still retains the P-38 styling finishing in those attractive vertical tail lights. And the horizontal chrome trim along the bottom of the trunk lid adds a nice touch.
Jeff Nice to see a more affordable vehicle. For the price it is a lot of vehicle for the money. Dodge needs a vehicle like this.
