Hugely objective, but personally still find the lines of the 1st gen more pleasing to the eye. Personally both generations need to be slightly lowered (no more than an inch) with better wheels/tires ultimately, but when done to both, still find the 1st gen lines the prettier of the two.

That being said, it seems pretty clear that the 2nd gen is superior to the 1st in almost all measurable categories (as well as feel - other than the EPS that some feel lost feel), and with the current state of used car prices, a 2nd gen car available at or below MSRP is a much better value proposition than a 6-10 YO 1st gen with anywhere from 40-90K miles, and their ridiculous asking prices..
