I think it looks great, and not just for its age. It's funny how good designs grow on you. I initially thought the updates were pointless and backwords, but then I started to understand it from the designers' point of view, their intention and concept, and all of a sudden there's this epitome, "OH, so that's why they did it" moment. The question is whether or not the public will appreciate it. The styling might age better than an instant "OMFG thAts HOTTZZ!" design, but the car itself might die from poor sales.

At first I didn't like the back end treatment but it looks better in these pictures. I think this is a good update to an already good vehicle. I just wish GM would devote a little more money into the brand and give the 9-5 an AWD platform to sit on. I think it would really make the car shine.

Its a nice new front-end, but its still a 1999 design.

It just doesn't work for me.

The spoiler sucks. Dear, everyone: stop putting spoilers on cars so much. Its not 1997 anymore. Kthxbye.
