The article says:
"Some clever jiggery pokery inside means a 15mm gain in length has been made into a 16mm increase in rear legroom"
I'm no engineer, but the 1mm difference sounds less like 'clever jiggery pokery' and more like coincidence to me....
Exactly this. Also in the real world (as opposed to the CAD measurements) wouldn't the variance in seat foam, leather thickness on the seat and front seat back account for more than 1mm?

In my opinion, this makes the outgoing FF look seriously old and outdated by a long way. This looks a decade plus newer and fresher.
Disagree. Cars like this and Merc CLS look brilliant in their first iteration - a ground up new car, for a niche or segment that didnt exit. First time they got it right in every aspect, but then they have to follow the typical German evolution rather than revolution and so we end up with something that has to look like the original but also has to be new. This not always works.Imo, the FF, like the original CLS, is a timeless classic, in terms of design at least.

Really? The changes look very minor to me, the overall look of the car hasn't altered. Similar headlights, similar grill, similar(ish) wing vents, similar roof line, similar front and rear wheel arches/lines, different rear lights, different side/door lines, different rear window/C-pillar. It certainly doesn't mark out as being from a different 'design decade' or something.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
