In my opinion, the 2010 V6's painted grill surround makes it look quite agressive... unlike the current gen, where the V6's front has a tamer look and even a blander grill.
The V6 2010's grill gives it a GT500-esque demeanor. The lower radiator opening looks vicious too... the GT's stuck with the same kind of lower opening as the current model has.
Wonder whether we'll see retrofit kits where the V6's bumper cover will be swapped onto GT's and GT owners get to painting their cars' grill surrounds in body color, while retaining the inset driving lights.

I also agree and I have not been a fan of the fogs even on the current s197.

I think there is huge potential for the aftermarket to pickup the slack. That front end will look absolutely awesome with a few mods. I'm excited to see what Roush/Saleen comes up with.

I agree 100% looks like a GT-500 front. I think the V6 should be the GT front and the GT front should be the pony pakage for the V6.
