You tube video. Looks like the bonnet gets some extra creases. Not sure if I prefer my front lower blades better. No I do. Tinted rear lights nice. Nice infotainment package. Not sure about the chrome look steering wheel top bit.

I think subtle is the word!

I’d swap the Chinese eBay plastic look of the bright trim on the wheel and around the seat controls for aluminium door pulls all day long.
Surely he was wrong to say those were plastic though - just black anodised aluminium I guess.
Extra creases in bonnet - jury’s out.
Saw nothing that would make me want one over an existing model.
A bit like when they did away with the shark fins on the original version - change for changes sake and a backward step.

...mind you, I’d still have one if you gave it me 🙂
 
I wonder if the bonnet idea is to stiffen it up, as all the test drivers slam it down from one side instead of from the front.
 
Strange how people have different opinions, likes and dislikes

I think the front lower grilles are way better than the original shark fin. They always looked weak compared to other cars. Much prefer the SVR front I have fitted. This latest move is closer to the SVR and inline with how front ends seem to be evolving
Also like the silver on the steering wheel which is the same as the SVR wheel I have fitted


Bonnet creases. I'm not sure. Certainly I have the same lines on the stock bonnet. Perhaps they are just a more clearly defined crease now than before
 
I see the dark grey door pulls aren’t new either.
Looks to me like the development session wasn’t a long meeting!
 
Strange. Another thread on here showing a different front light arrangement. So is this not the 2020 or is the other guy wrong with his headlight render.

No. The guy doing the review says 2020 because it’s a 2020 MY. The facelift will be a 2021 MY. In the UK people go by the manufacturing year while US go by the model year. Correct me if I am wrong. The new headlight render is for the 2021 F-type that will be manufactured in 2020 (most likely).

New MYs tend to start being built around March of the previous year (my MY18 was built in March 2017).
