Is the 2010 Grille different than previous w221?

I been looking at the 2010 grille and it seems to have a more pronouced v-shape at the bottom but when I look at previous models they seem the same. I'm not sure if my preception is scewed from looking at it too long but is there a differance?

Yes, I believe it was re-designed along with the bumper (more "aggressive," whatever that means).

And you can see the gap between the grille and bottom part of the frame.

Not very nice.

Eesh, that really shows off how much nicer the '10's grille is IMO. That little V shape at the bottom really is fitting with the 221's design.

^^ Should be noted that what is written above obviously applies to the W220 VS W221.
