This design reached considerable heights shape-wise, despite its having introduced no innovative features. Reference is made to the Volkswagen Passat (1973), but the third back window, now sporting a base that follows the belt-line, is much more attractive and characterizes the side for its overall elegance. Volumes were carefully proportioned and various graphical touches show the close attention paid to detail. Both the front and back are characterized by horizontally wrapping, rectangular lights.
