I liked the old designs since they had their own look compared to other cars on the road. In the end, I grew to like the new ones. Why? Because they fold in better and make the car look more amazing as a whole.

I have to agree with the folding mirror feature but I was referring to the shape. Sorry about that. Idk.. the round shape of the mirror is not my favorite.

Agreed on this, the V shape is also gone, changed into a very common shape of a side mirror and it's round!!

I prefer the old styled mirro but may be it was subject to wind noise than it is on the new mirror or less aerodynamically efficient
