I don't think it's the dash vents, this is the notch I'm talking about, could be a grab handle, lighted mirror, sunglass holder...dunno

 

oh..and and and and.......hah..and why would they add those 2 tacky brushed aluminum pieces,,but GET RID of the brushed console (stero/ac controls..)..damn,,and that was one of my fav. changes into the 02's..damn,.if they gona do it,,let it All be done.or nada.....and aint feelin the indent around the headlights slash-look (towards middle of the car)..and 2 cupholders?!?!2?!!!pleeease

 

I'm not a fan of the front bumper lines on the bottom and how it bulges out more in the front around the headlights, but without knowing what the new front lip will look like (it may smooth out that bottom line by going up into the recess) I just don't know.

DO IT! Damn those kids, make them pay their own way!

 

I like the styling changes (except the front bumper which loses it's smooth lines), but am not sure of the engine and drivetrain. Can't wait to see a roadtest to find out if the extra torque is worth losing 1000 rpm.
My biggest concern is how the car handles. If they soften the suspension, but go with 17" wheels the ride might be the same, and hopefully will still handle the same.
Has anyone heard about the weight. If it goes up much it might end up being like the 350Z roadster.(although I don't see it going up 600 pounds)

 

Why would the weight go up at all? There are no major structural changes to the car at all.

u know wat..i realized that car companys are slowly making changes to make the cars more "street safe" i think...i mean that there are changes made like the taillights/headlights to have permanent Orange in it (which most of us despise)...like, when the Bmw 3series was slightly changed from i think 2002-2003 (or prior year),,they F'd up the headlights and put Horrible sidemarkers way up higher..everry year before that,,it was a simple change of clear corners to make it look better,,but tons of people i know hussled to find older versions of the car because the new ones just gave it an uglier feeling.....this has been done to several more cars..to me, it just seems like they dont want the headlights being changed (or clears added) thus they make newer/Uglier designs to headlights/taillights....now, this may seem like not a big deal to lots of people..but let me tell you,,it is a biggg let down for me to look down at the new S and realize that its smothered with Orange that is going to be permanent and Thats that.....they think by making the styling on the rest of the car a bit "cooler", that the consumer isnt going to want to Mod it at all..just leave it as is....but hey,,F Stock...and thats that

 

I respect your opinion but I don't see why orange is such a big deal.
