I hope Autocar is wrong! The current model looks much better, IMHO.

some new wheels and a bumper more like the V12V? ...not much of a "new" Vantage really ...just the usual yearly model changes they do for most cars so that you can tell whos splashed out on a new one wink

Think they need to be careful with tweaks etc. There's a danger they'll completely bugger up a very beautiful shape.

Whilst more expensive, they'd be better off changing wholesale rather than fiddle.

Big fat wing mirrors, chubby sills, mucking about with front and rear bumpers and the trailing edge of the boot. None of them are really improving things IMO.

I agree - a few more wheel options, and make the splitter/diffuser/sills optional ....maybe some better quality mesh (that dosent rust) and thats about it for me ...cant see it needs anything else smile

Id be very surprised if this actually ends up being a facelift - to have 2 facelifts in a cars life span is very unusual and we've already seen the facelift with the introduction of the 4.7engine etc...

I suspect it will just be the MY11 model year and introduce those items mentioned as options.
