If you think it is only GM that does this, you guys are smoking something. Mecedes does this, Bimmer does this (check out the new facelift on the 7 series), Jag does this (the XK has used the same frame design since '78!), Ferrari does this (the new 430 is 90% the same structure wise as the 360) etc. etc. etc. This isn't General Motors-esque, it's a fact of life in the entire automotive industry.

Jeeeeeeez. Chill dude. I used GM as an example. Thanks for the rundown. And yes, I am smoking something.

BTW.. you are wrong about the Jag and it's XJ not XK (XK is the 2dr and is unchanged since introduction).

I'd hit it!!! Wagons are the ****. Its doesn't what kind of face you put on 'em they still rule. I just hope Subaru 4 pots/2pots stay on the boat and don't decide to jump off somewhere in the middle of the ocean.

I need to quit posting from work. I'm all wound up and *****y. Nothing personal. And sorry, I didn't specify about the XK. The XK, though not changed since the inception on that specific name, ustilizes the same basic frame as the XJ-S which was created back in '78. So the XK frame is infact nearly 30 years old.

Back on subject, I actually like the new nose. It's not the best looking thing out there, but it is different which I like. Then again, you probably shouldn't listen to me since I also think the Bugeyes look better than the 04 and 05 models.

They need to stop redesigning the front end and make a coupe version already that's not as ugly.

I think it may just be a case of color. If that wagon was WRB I think it would just look as fugly. I think I have new wallpaper tho.
