They called the styling of the old 6 painfully boring. compared to what? A lambourghini countach?
You wanna see painfully boring styling? Go to your local honda or toyota dealership and look at those models that were competing with the old 6 at the time. The new 6 is painfully bloated. Its nicer looking than its competitors sure but give me the painfully boring old 6 any day. Only thing I like better about the new 6 is the motor and interior. Though the MS6 interior is plenty lux for me.
