Who doesn't like the look of the 2005s?

I can appreciate they are technically superior to the 99-04s but I really like the styling of the 99-04s a lot better. Perhaps a "special edition" version of the 2005s will be "tougher" looking.

Things I like: Stance. Glad they got rid of the 4x4 look.

Things I don't like: GT fog lights in the grill. The rear end reminds of the rear of the 90's era Capri convertible. The over all rounded look. They remind me a lot of the 94-98 cars in that respect.

Anyhow, I am sure it will grow on me.

I'm sure there are those that don't like it. Me, I love it. I love the GT grill fog lights and I love the overall styling.

If you hadn't seen the car in person don't judge it yet. In pictures, i never really liked the front end of the production car. But in person the car is awsome. The car in person is just stunning.

Perhaps I need to revive the "complaint department" thread.

Sorry to bump this one more time, but Nicks99GT has an excellent point here. I was looking at some of the other body styles I really llike and in print they don't look nearly as good as they do in person. I am looking forward to seeing the new body in person. If nothing else I am REALLY looking forward to how the new platform performs.
