It isn't re-designed, it's just a restyle. It is the same platform and body shell as before.

I think I can redesign my car more with $1000 and a J.C. Whitney catalog.

The squared-off fenders, new bumpers with sportier graphics, new taillights and new wheels are a decent refresh for the car, imo. It's an icon as is. Edited February 4, 2006 by ocnblu
