That rendering is so far off the current spy photos it's not funny.

Dude. Are you being daft on purpose? Nobody but you is talking about people. It could just as well happen to look like american cars... and then we would be complaining that the *** looked too american. This is not about race just design language bro.

Who's talking about people?

I'm talking about design language too.

Just disagree with those who say that it looks Korean / Asian / whatever. Including you:

To me it's somewhere between a mid 2000's santa fe, a current lexus rx and a mazda.. with a porsche front clip.

Yikes! Makes me want to wait for the facelifted 2015. Do you think the nose will look like the Macan with led turn signal lights, driving/fog lights etc... Reports already speak of led headlights with a more elongated nose. The Macan photos in the links below show good shots of the new lights fog/driving and turn signal. The rear tail lights on the first link look interesting.

Maybe this is a glimpse of what we can expect in 2015 Cayenne.

Macan's (I can't even stand typing that silly name) tail lights look borderline identical to current P!G's:

I would be for asking to change the tittle of this (very sensitive) topic, i.e.: proposing "Buttlift", (instead of "Facelift").
(It looks like we all agree, that the problem is not in the face.)

I dunno, looks like there may be a surprise lurking under that riveted camouflage and painted lights on the Macan!

While the tail lights are taped, you can still kind of see an overall shape and I'm thinking it won't be that much of a surprise. Think 955 vs 957.
