Personally, I don't like it at all. The with those new lights, and wide rear end it reminds me of that most hideous of Lexus the SC430:

I think it looks fantastic. The new C70 didn't quite have the visual impact of its predecessor... until now in my opinion.

Here's a YouTube video to accompany the pics:

the previous shape was smooth and a joy to look at.

Personally I don't think the facelift works with the design of the rest of the car.
Many people has likened the front to the Lexus SC430 and I think the redesigned rear, despite having lovely tail lights shouts facelift due to the bumper aperture being wider than the boot lid.

I saw some pics before I ordered my current shape Ice White (which I'm still waiting to take delivery for despite ordering in June!!!) and defo prefer the current shape.
