2009 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Old shape or new

Would appreciate your opinions on the old v new front end.
I think my old shape (2009) front look a lot more muscular than the current shape. I think its cos the old shape bumper is lower under the grille and the new shape bumper is virtually level. Opinions will no doubt be divided but what do you guys think 2019 BMW X3 2.0i M Sport in metalic black- Brilliant

outside isn't even half of the benefit of the new shape, interior is worth the upgrade costs alone.

I must admit the older RRS still looks fresh and not dated like other 4x4 of that era

Suppose the new shape was the original old shape, and then the new shape (being the old shape) came along...then what would you say....eh, eh??

Old shape is more or a brute/thug/hooligan

New shape is more handsome pretty boy. Admittedly prpbably better looking

However If I could have old exterior (plus a few minor styling mods) with new interior and engine Id be a happy man
