Somebody somewhere knows but if they tell they will be out of work in a hurry!
I have been on this soapbox before but whatever the plans are for the car they are already drawn up someplace. They do not plan these cars on a year to year basis but have a minimum 3 year timeline. Since this is still a relatively small change but does impact body style my guess, based upon 30 years in the industry is that they will rub with this new style for 3 years and then will either kill the car or do a second gen.
Or of course I could be way off base and talking out my ass.

But damn now I have that image burned into my memory and it is going to be hard to be objective.

Lol, I think once it's see first person many may change their mind. I could too. Time will tell

I am not as optimistic but will try to be fair.

Truth be told, I kind of like the steering wheel.

Reminds me of the Lotus elise wheel from a while back.

This is still not a "second gen" in my books. Will require more than a couple of bumper tweaks and some lights for that.

Interesting, what's the qualifier?

Yeah I do agree even though I made a comment about it being a second gen as well.. I was corrected and realized how stupid I was. This is just a refresh. It is not a second gen...

Actually on the other hand it does have different suspension, (updated) engine or tune, and looks different, might even weigh more.. Is that enough in order for it to be considered a "second gen"?

Where ours is sort of rounded and curvy these have a big flattish triangle. It is all sharp edges instead of flowing.

Meh. Not a fan of the new front-end design. Maybe it'll grow on me after I see one on the street like the new MX-5 did. The new LED headlights and taillights look pretty trick though.

I want to see how these head/tail lights look once lit up

I'm sorta expecting it to be uglier in person where Photoshop has no power.
