Slight redesign of the grille

[Badams]

I think a slight redesign of the grill would make the front end look much better. Just making the line I circled a little more pronounced all the way around the grille and sinking the flat section of the grille in a little. IMO would really set the grille area off and would match the strong the line around the headlights better.
To me that line blends into the flat section and almost disappears.

Wouldn’t say no but as a designer and having seen it in person it reads well currently. The led DRL that runs around the black grill visually helps define that area but a little tweaking may work?

I agree that the led does help this area. But won’t be very noticeable during the day. I just think that making that area more pronounced or even adding a body color or chrome trim ring to that area would make it look much better IMO

I would normally agree but there is no other chrome so I think that would not work. The tough move is no engine-no need for air vents so then making any openings looks like applied junk rather than simplistic design which was the design teams goal.
I’ll very kindly agree to “disagree”-not because I do disagree but I just thought in person it looks really good.
Early on we tossed the idea of having different grill options to mimic different gens of the early scouts which might work now or might again look like applied design “stuff”

We’ll chalk it up to different taste for different people. I don’t mind the simplistic design just my opinion that the area could be improved with simple changes to really make it stand out and say im a scout.
But then again I’ve not had a chance to see it in person so i might like it more in person.
