Well this is my opinion ...... It is an UGLY piece of CRAP both the old and new model.

Looks better. Old one looked terrible I thought. Just a big plastic brick.

Definately not tough looking anymore. Interior is a big improvement.

Looks like a Korean ripoff of the 300C.

I didn't mind the interior, until that damned gear stick.

It has to be the worst gear console in the world :(

I do like the new look. IMO the current one dated very quickly.

On a related note, does anyone know what the second lens in the passenger (rhs) side foglight housing is for? There isn't one in the other side. Camera?

That'd be for some kind of Adaptive Cruise Control I think...

What worries me is the apparently the old model was made in austria, the new one will be made in canada, are we going to see reliability issues?

Looks good, Not as good as the current model IMO.

This 2011 model looks more pensioner-ish.

Don't worry, it's just what happens with LED's and digital cameras - can't remember what the effect is called though...

The back looks uglier on the new one. But the front is about the same.

I still going to get a current model one... one day.
