I know that the '08 reskin was on the books long before the change in direction was made (decisions on model makeovers are usually three to four years in advance of the actual changes unless something is horribly off with the current model... Hello Five Hundred ;))

But I'll wager a case of beer that says you throw ten average people off the street in a room with a current gen model (05-07) with what's coming and ask them to tell you which looks better on the outside and I'll say 7 out of 10 pick the 05-07 as the better looking car... (Of course if we're talking interior, I'd say the numbers would be inverted, with most approving of the interior redo)
