    great find! although i am hard pressed to really notice the big changes. looks like the lower bumper fascia and a little of the grille? other than that, looks the usual good self.

    That looks like someone from inside the factory snapped this picture when nobody was looking.

    Wow that is a scoop!!

    I honestly like the current one better, this update removed a little "italian" from it.

    I totally agree with you, looks like their trying the "Germanize" it to appeal to more people that only look at S-classes.

    Good find. I'm having a hard time telling the difference... Are the headlights a little taller?

    It looks like they went with the vertical lines a'la Granturismo on the grille, it looks like the grille is a bit smaller too. Looking forward to seeing it in person, but making a quick judgement based on this spy shot it still looks a hair less "italian" to me compared to the orginal style.

    Here are a few other pics to compare:

    I don't see why people are saying the facelifted QP is taking on a more "germanic" look based upon a single photo? What is the basis for this view point? (In the photo) I see a more agressive front bumper and that's about it...

    more pictures of the redo on italiaspeed.com including LED rear tailights and what appears to be new type of rims that look like a nightmare to clean.
