I’ll start with the Porsche 997, the 996 looked alright imo, but it looks “like a 90s Porsche”, the 997 made it look sleeker and more modern. Still looks good today.
As for cars that looked worse after a facelift? Maybe the facelifted 6th gen Camaro? The 6th gen looked great pre-facelift, but they did something weird with the headlights and now it looks so-so…
Same people are having 400z -> 370z arguments now. If they’ve actually seen any of them in person yet is a different story though.
370Z -> 400Z isn’t a facelift, it’s a butt reduction.
