I agree. I think lately I have been more attracted to German cars because of their incremental styling changes. A lot of the Japanese and American brands have somewhat extreme redesigns lately which make their cars seem dated after a few years.
Look at a 2011 BMW, Audi, or VW product and it looks fairly modern. Look at a 2011 Japanese or American product and it looks dated. I think this is intentional though, to get the buyers concerned with buying the newest looking model.
Two of my friends just bought Jettas, one a 2011 with the 2.5L engine and the other a 2014 with the 1.8T. Both are very nice cars for the money.
