Having just got a very fresh gen3 it is going to be a long time before I have need of a gen4 and in that time I might even have decided I could live with the looks or not.

Certainly seems to be being backed up by recent offers of cancelled orders being up for grabs. There could be some bargains to be had soon enough.
At the moment there are just two new shape cars for sale on Autotrader, both at dealerships, both very likely demo cars and both, way, way over list price (£21k and £22,995). If people need to get out of their cars through dislike of the actual characteristics or through being disillusioned with the service, then I'm not sure many of those people will be desperate to sell for a loss creating loads of 'bargains'. Perhaps more likely they'll try to sell for a profit too?!?
The thing is that they will only fetch what the market will suffer and as soon as there's a sufficient supply the value will fall. At the moment as I am painfully aware the market is very buoyant especially for low mileage automatic ones but it will normalize in fairly short order.
