Ugh. Looks like they are trying to follow the "ugly grille" method that Lexus and Nissan are using.

Yeah, it's not pretty. And I agree: that Lexus SUV grille is horrific.

Well in 2008 the lancer came out with the shark nose grill, looks like there going back to that, just more extreme
I hope it doesn't ruin aerodynamics by prioritizing form over function. In fact I'd want it to get higher MPGs to fend off the competition and leave them in the dust!

I had the same thought (aero). With the amount of effort they put into streamlining the car in the first place, I'd bet they wouldn't want to make it worse with a styling update.

The first one is a special edition in other country's, the second one is the global small concept that came out before the Mirage
