X2... didn't even notice the fake chrome bezels around the tail pipes. I want my exhaust to protrude from behind the bumper...

I think they kept a little too much of the f15 in this new version, which I always thought was too "slab sided" and had no character from the driver's door back... and no discernible rear wheel arch or bulge... too flat. Where is all the flame surfacing??

Now they have added a bit of detail character back in, but just barely. No objection to the grille or front style, I don't mind the tailights, but I could do without the tight Lexus style bumper trim right up to the exhaust pipes.

Yes this and the f15 look more homogenized (read: Japanese) than the e70 did, with its funky attitude and bulges.
So, I would rate g05 above f15. And e70 above both!

Rear looks similar to Toyotas now and the oversized grille is no fun.
