I'm glad I did this though because I kept thinking they were exaggerating when they talked about a "significant redesign", but I guess the rear u-body really does have quite a few differences. The door cut out is different, and the Hoffmeister kink is much more pronounced on the newer car.

It'd be cool if someone could do one of those cool sliders where you could easily go back and forth - but I don't know how to do that.
The overlay is confusing me more than helping. I already recognized the hood was raised more than the fenders were lowered, but the layover has the old gen protruding further out the back and is ghosted over the new gen, but the front looks like the old gen is dark and the new gen is ghosted. The bumper looks oddly cut off. The new gen is longer slightly than the old gen. Better than I can do.
