Please excuse the editorial license in reversing the original photo above, but this seemed an interesting comparitive set-up. Purely subjective, but if you didn't know which was new vs. prior, how do preferences run? The G45 flatness of the side and front fascia, reduced wheel well opening detail, the emphasized rear upsweep at the taillamp, and the bulkier front with the clamshell hood catch my eye, but not as preferences. I do like that the new rear door window is one piece without a divider. I'm surprised how much impact the lack of the front fender grille insert has on the overall lack of visual interest on the side. From an ergonomics point of view, the G01 door handles can be grabbed more naturally. N=1 anectotal reaction before even considering the interior.
