I don't know how I grew to be okay with the front bumper to be honest. I remember being vehement about it since the spy pics revealed it.

If it didn't have those side creases running beneath the headlights, or that trim strip, I think I'd still hate it. I think the creases really do save it. They look...I don't know...sporty? I like how they mirror the line beneath the headlights though.

The way I came to like the taillights was by watching those videos over and over until it just seemed to gel with the rest of the design. I think these official shots don't make it look very good.

My only remaining conflicts with the design is that the front bumper could be better, especially if it had used the one from the CS, and that from the profile, the tail looks a little saggy. Well, not saggy, but it needs a bit of a lift on the edge of the trunk lid in my opinion.

I'm also not crazy about the way the rear edges of the car sort of just mush and bend. It seems unresolved.
