    Pre-Facelift
    .

    Post Facelift:


    I know it's a different colour, but still it lifted the car so much imo.

    Hyundai Equus/Genesis G90:
    From a copy of a meh Mitsubishi,

    To a so-so, yet original content,

    To one of the most underappreciated luxury sedans ever made.

    This one reached a new era in oversized grilles, the cancer of modern automotive design...

    Still, Hyundai did design it well.

    From an nice luxury sedan to an not so impressive luxury sedan.

    But, the next ES finally made the car look a bit more interesting than it was earlier.

    If you combine the worst elements of the previous generations, you won't have something even half as abominable as this car.

    And the Buick GL8, which I have no clue why they don't sell it in America. It fits really well with our market and they already import the Envision from China, why not bring the minivan too? It sits perfectly in the Buick lineup, uses the same exact 2.0 Turbo you can get in the Malibu, Equinox, Envision and such, and it looks like the American division designed it, similar to the situation in the Envision. Why not bring the new one over too?

    Cars often go to specific markets if they sell well there, and the GL8 sells well there in China.
    I'm not an big fan of the 2015 300, it looks more like an modern mafia car than earlier, and the new GL8 looks way too much like an Regal minivan.

    I see where you're coming from, but as an adamant and passionate Chrysler lover I suppose we'll have to respect eachother's opinions and agree to disagree :) Who said mafia car is a bad thing? I love the new 300's and am really hoping they make a new one. And I also really love minivans and love Buick's styling soooooo... I gotta say I really love the GL8, haha!

    Actually, it's worse, except when you are talking about the 90s EU Corolla.
    OT:


    Well done revision, Peugeot!

    Weird how you switch from the Town and Country to Pacifica, but they were completely different vehicles in their early life, one was an real minivan, but the other was an midsize crossover. Although they cancelled it in 2014, the Pacifica then evolved to become the replacement for the Town and Country and now is currently an minivan. It's not even an successor to the T&C.
    Just finding that transition off.

    Thats actually an old Camry and a new Corolla.

    OT: The new regal looks so much better than the previous generation IMO.

    It's like the same transition the Insignia went through.
    OT:


    Give kudos that it still looks pretty decent.

    Well here, let me sum it up for you.

    The Pacifica (which we also own, the crossover) was from 2004-2008 and was a midsize crossover which was succeeded by the Journey.
    The Town and Country was cancelled in 2016 and was replaced with a new generation of Chrysler van which was redesigned for the new generation. They simply took back the name for a different brand image, because people don't remember the Pacifica as well as they remember the Town and Country and how much reviewers bash it. Similar to how they redesigned the Sebring entirely and called it the 200, only to get rid of the bad reputation that the Sebring name had.

    The Pacifica is most definitely a successor, I don't understand why you don't see that...

    Even if it takes another name, it's not just the Town & Country. In-fact, it's really just an new (RT) minivan, but shares the name of the discontinued crossover. The only problem with that statement is that it's not exactly one car.

    What are you even saying anymore? The long and short of it: Chrysler stopped making the Town and Country. They replaced it with the Pacifica.

    And on this topic, the Pacifica (CS) went through a good facelift and even got better Powertrain.

    How about a car of my own design through Automation? 2004 Farox Delta was revamped in 2010, I’m pretty happy with the way it went :)
