I prefer a wing to a spoiler, since they generally have less drag penalty, ie better L/D.

Oops, I guess I meant "latter."

Has anything been released as to it's functionality? What are the new drag coefficient numbers?

Having not seen it in real life, I think the new wing looks ok - not better or worse than the older one.

It's not my style, stands out too much. I love my '14 spoiler.

Mine's better.

I will gladly ditch my 14 spoiler for the new style. Love the look.

..hmm wasn't there something about aesthetics being subjective...

Are pics that hard?

Exactly! And as long as nobody try's to tell somebody they are wrong about liking or disliking it then all is good.

I would have that thing off my car and on it's way to somebody that liked it in a heartbeat.

For reference purposes...of course. 😁

I love that thing. So understated, and it's stout.

Looks good in those pictures, but what I saw was a yellow car and the predominantly black wing, particularly when viewed from above the car - (as in me standing near the rear of the car) looked like an aftermarket tack on.

I think part of it is the relatively low point of view in those pictures and perhaps the extreme color contrast of yellow/black that makes the pictures more appealing to me than the car was in person.

Don't get me wrong - I would not remove it like Tcoat suggests - but I do prefer a more integrated style. Indeed this seems to be the trend with all the automated wings... Porsche, Jaguar, Tesla, etc... body color and following the lines of the car as opposed to a classic wing.

Most of the cars that need aero because of the speeds they are built to attain have very subtle and effective designs, baked in at the start. I really have to wonder about some of the stupidly big "ricer" wings and if they have ever had any other design considerations other than "make it bigger, and stupider-looking".
