That’s mental that they went up so fast. I paid $55k DA for mine brand new. Crazy. Really brings the thing into a different league.

The front windscreen is squarer.

These are not massive changes, but they ARE different and NOT carryover ( and require new tooling for the roof, doors, and glass ).
Mate, you can’t tell me I’m wrong unless you worked on engineering it. Otherwise your opinion holds as much water as mine. There’s a interview with Carsguide where that dck head James Dowling asks one of the engineers about the windows, roof and glass and the engineer ducks and weaves the question like a politician who’s been accused of corruption.

Door frames are likely the same. The sheet metal on top is likely stamped differently. I’ll concede that.
