As you know, in 2012, Jag did a complete redesign of the front end. To me, they turned it into something akin to the huge smiles that clowns paint on their faces.



IMO, they totally distorted what had been beautiful and graceful lines. I couldn't think of why anyone would want to turn the front end into a smiley face.

...until I saw that Maserati did the exact same thing, only even more exaggerated.
