Motor1's Gen 1 vs Gen 2 visual comparison
https://www.motor1.com/news/499481/t...omparison/amp/
Check the link and see for yourself. My notable observations; -the rearview mirrors are significantly bigger.. why!? -no more sharp lines in the double bubble rooftop -the nose comes down further on gen 2 -the exhaust sits higher in the body of the bumper. -the gen 2 trunk opening is much smaller (contributing to part of that big leap in structural rigidity I'm assuming) -what would be considered the rear approach angle is so much greater in the gen 2. Exposes the muffler too much in my opinion Not complaining, just observations, I like the new look overall |

BTW- I doubt the factory diffuser has any real benefit other than cosmetics!

Wow this is actually a really cool way to view the differences. Being able to slide left and right gives a unique perspective, props to Motor1

+window belt line is ever so slightly higher in gen 2 especially closer to the A pillar (that little triangle shaped glass seems smaller), perhaps that had some influence in sideview mirror size.
best difference to me is the relocation of the 3rd brake light I won't have to delete it like I did on my twins lol |

For example the inside view shows the rear vision mirror smaller. |

Wow didn't realize how strongly I preferred the gen 1 styling until I saw this website. I'm hoping it's just the camera angle or lens on those shots, but the gen 2 looks taller and narrower overall.
Pretty cool comparison shots.

Comparison shots are not comparable, different focal lengths. Most pics I've seen, 2nd gen looks lower to me and same width. Published specs show it 0.4" lower at 51.6" vs. 52.0" and same width as gen1 at 69.9".

The real test will be what they look like out in the real world though.
