Huh, it doesn't look lower to me...

Here are a couple of front 3/4 shots of each. To me, the 2nd gen looks lower at the front and rear fender peaks, lower at the nose, wheel openings are lower over the tires, it just looks LOWER. In fact I would bet that both the 0.4" lower overall height and the claimed lower c.g. are both due to just lowering the car 0.4" on it suspension.

Yeah I also don’t see it as much on the 3/4 shots. The straight on front and rear shots are probably the clearest examples. I’m hoping IRL the second gen will have a nice low sporty look to it. I like the mechanical changes to the car otherwise. Maybe I’ll wait for the gen 2 refresh to see what changes that brings to the exterior.

I would like a little more differentiation on the headlights and taillights. I liked the remainder of the vehicle.

Other than the vent, I prefer Gen1 with a taillight change.

It would have been helpful if the comparisons were of actual blueprints/drawings. Photographs depend on A LOT of things - perspective, distance from the camera, focal points, etc. It can only be a qualitative assessment.
