Add to this insult the fact that these new headlights (if true) are frankly, quite UGLY, and reminiscent of altezza taillights on the IS300 (Puhey!) Hopefully these represent only the HID optional setups, while the standard lights will retain the "traditional" Peanut shape... through 2006, thank you very much.

Unless I'm mistaken, projector lamps first bowed on the '89 Nissan 300ZX, so I don't see that there's anything "gestalt-ish" about a 13-year old design.

i don't imply that that in itself is "good". but in this case, and being in a controversial mood, i like the new look b/c it's slightly offensive, odd, strange and challenging (almost non-mercedes-ish) while at the same time, it feels more modern (at least to me). actually, i find it consistent w/ much of the same reasons why i got the coupe.
and again, i like to reiterate that the older design is definitely a classic design to me. i find it very elegant and beautiful. but that doesn't mean i cannot appreciate changes to the design.

Perhaps those that posted these images could point to a source?
