Default D5 Grill and Headlights Exposed...

Camo removed from D5 grill and headlights on test route. While not dimensionally identical, the new headlights are pretty close to those on the Prologue concept, albeit not as narrow. The grill looks identical. You can also see some of the front bumper sculpture and how it will integrate with the new grill. Looks like the bumper will surround the grill, as there appears to be a narrow band of the bumper facia going over the top of the grill and then mating with the hood (not in the Prologue's design)---similar to the rendering in the 3rd image.

Getting closer...

Looks good. Wheels on the last picture look like Porsche wheels.

Oh I get it, but I'd prefer something more like this...

The side profile on the rendering looks a lot like the current model. Not exact, but close.

I have seen the same photo with the orange truck and in full camo. First photo, while encouraging, is obviously photoshopped. I guess we just need to wait it out.

Darn, I just looked again at that grouping of spy shots, and I guess you are correct. That headlight has some color highlights around it when you size the pic larger. Clearly shouldn't be there, so yes, it's likely been altered.

Sorry guys!
