I have gone to look at the AW M2C @ Bill Jacobs many times, and that is one thing that I truly don't notice as much now. I think the new front end is "beefier" enough to offset the elongated grills.

From straight on, less than 10 feet away, the car looks really angry. And that's how I think the OG M2 looks too - just executed in slightly different ways.

I like them both.
