That bottom scoop is pleasing to the eyes.. its not so aggressive reminds me of the acura/lexus look
I guess to each his own...I prefer the current, more aggressive look. I have nothing against the new look...maybe just a little to "safe". I'll have to wait to see one in person to make a final opinion.

I think that is Space Gray, but just looks dark in that lighting. I would guess that the following is Platinum Gray (it looks really nice IMO):
When I take into account the colour temperature of both images, it seems to me that both cars are both the same colour.

It's even credible that it's the same car.

I think you are right...

In fact the more I look at them it looks like the white balance, saturation and contrast is screwed up across these images that it's very difficult to tell the real colour. Chances are it is space grey in all the shots as in general it looks more like than that any other colour in most of the shots... I think those it was wishful thinking to think some of the shots were platinum grey (mea culpa)
