    Yeah...
    but it makes nearly every new Toyota fall to the wayside, including the Avalon and Camry. Plus, the 2014 MDX was nearly the same to the RDX of that same year in design.

    Here Is A Facelift That Worked Perfectly In My Opinion:
    The Dodge Grand Caravan.

    The Citroën DS was already pretty beautiful, and they succeeded in making it look even better afterwards (that's my opinion and you're free to disagree).

    I prefer the phase 1 mk2. But I really can't see anything better about the phase 1 mk3. The front just looks ugly to me.

    I always wished GM brought over the Vauxhall Vectra as a Saturn earlier! I liked it. They had the Saturn Aura brought into America, with Malibu underpinnings and the Malibu interior, but the facelifted Vectra styling. I love it! 07_Saturn_Aura_XE.jpg

    I see.

    Facelift looks ugly to me, the "flat" nose first seen on the Megane III/Laguna III (both kinda ugly by their own right) looked like an afterthought on the Clio... because it was. :p

    Anyone else unconditionally love minivans?
    The T&C and Dodge GC went through a great facelift in the RT generation, when Fiat Chrysler took over and they redid their stuff.

    Not really, I'm more attached to certain SUVs, but an big fan of station wagons.
    I find this transition welcoming: (means it did make it a bit more tolerable)

    It was a good facelift though. Gaining the Pentastar was a blessing to it in itself.

    It just made it look less like an bland minivan, but it still doesn't look as interesting as other Chryslers/Dodges.

    It still looks like an average vehicle. Atleast when I look at an Mustang, it gets my attention. Even the new MDX has an eye-catching look. The T&C doesn't achieve that, it just serves it's purpose, and that's it.
    OT:

    You're giving irrelevant details to the topic. The point of a facelift is to make the car better looking and bring it into the modern market. All of which, you said it did. It was a good facelift.

    OT: Time to start controversy! Hehe.

    I love the Cherokee, I like the way it looks and I'm thankful you can have a V6. Even still, in 2019! I like the 2019 facelift.

    *double vomit*
    Seriously? Plus, an V6 doesn't help an bad-looking car.
    Also, I was saying that the facelifts were as uninteresting as the ones before...
    OT:


    From an Xsara wanna-be to an more happy-go-lucky decent design. (I said decent b/c those headlights are a bit too big.)
