the first thing that comes to mind is "designed by focus group". the edges are smoothed over, and just feel like a phycologist asking me "how do you feel about that"...

the digital dash is a major deal killer(backlight fuks up night vision, i drive the car primarily at night), stupid built-in rear spoiler on the trunk messes up most wing options, the rear end styling is so bland, it kills anything left that the digital dash didn't.
I think the only exterior element of the car that I do like is the built in trunk lip. Other than that,I'm not a fan.

I mentioned the exact same thing about swapping motors. Some people like the looks of the OG versions.Some people like the refresh.Seems like there are many more people that are disappointed with the exterior of this version than the previous two,so far. Easy solution would seem to be able to take what's under the hood of this version and put it under the hood of either of the previous two versions.I know if my '13 had an extra 30hp,I'd be over the moon.
