Has anyone seen the pictures in Autocar? What do you all think to the new look? (edited to include iccle picture). Edited again to remove picture due to autocar removing picture from their website.

Looks good - much more aggressive.

I wish someone would come up with a new style of wheel arch though. The Focus style simple radiusised (sp?) arches are being used everywhere at the moment and don't seem very imaginative. How about a good old Ford X-Pack

I thought similarly about the wheel arches, but I do think the new look is much better. Looks like a pumped up skyline rather than a downmarket DB7.

From that pic it looks like a Mustang Cobra

Not that it really worries me, well never see them here anyway (NZ)

I agree with u about the wheel arches too
