They were even gracious enough to release a press photo of the new one parked in exactly the same position as the old one. Take note of the panel gap where A pillar meets the front guard near the mirror and also the hipline above the rear door handle on the c pillar.
Personally I’m surprised that the haters haven’t picked this and run with it. Do I think it’s nice? Well, it’s not bad looking, but I hate the fact that it’s been made to look like a big, dumb American truck. My next work vehicle will probably be a base New Defender 90 with steelies, because I’m sure the V6 Wiltrak will be up at $75k now.

It’s interesting that the track is 50mm wider and the front wheels pushed
forward by 50mm and yet both those picture still look amazingly similar
in the areas you pointed out (lower front guard meeting front door).
Looking closer, the wheel arches on the PX3 have been replaced by a
squarer outcrop on the front guard, I’m looking at where that meets the
door, does that mean the door is out further or is that an optical illusion?
(Similarly, back door where it meets the tray….)
