Default What's it look like?

Does anyone know which pictures we see floating around are the most accurate? I have seen hundreds of pics and was wondering if anyone had any confirmation as to what look is closest to what we are going to get.

First example would be the slit just in front of the hood, I've seen pics with and without. Secondly the rear tail lights with pictures of them recessed several inches to being not much more than an inch from flush.

Of course this is just a few of the more common differences that might help point out 2006 concept and 2009 production versions.

Granted it might still be too early to tell, but man its driving me nuts no knowing.

I thought that too, but in the multimedia section its still the same. Some cars with these features and some without. The first impressions video on there is a perfect example of the differences.

The slit in front of the hood is there on the SS, there is no slot on the V6.

Oh, duh. Didnt think about the SS version and the LT/LS version having a different front and rear end.

I guess I will know how my 2SS is going to look now.

Thanks!
