Agreed, I like the ones we have now from the factory.

However, I would wonder if these are going to be accessories, being that the both have the same shape as the current lamps do.

Paddle shifters are stupid in a regular automatic, IMO. . .

The only time you should have paddle shifters is if you have a DSG/SMG type auto tranny (which is completely different from a run-of-the-mill auto). You don't need paddle shifters in a dodge caravan and you don't need them in a tC/xb either. DSG/SMG type transmissions are essentially manual transmissions that are computer controlled.

I wish they'd changed a bit more too - this isn't really anything worth updating from my 05 for. But that's fine because it's almost paid off and it still pwns anyway.

i dont think this was ever supposed to be a major change in anything. just small bits to make it look like the tC got something out of the whole model switch over. they are not going to do some major overhauling a year before they retire the thing

It almost looks like its not locked shut dont it? biiiig gap.. but that just might be that its the show car, the consumer cars probably dont look like that. and yea the lights look great! The grill is.. ok. But i wonder what it would look like if they reversed that.. like to where the holes that are there now were filled and the metal thats there was empty..... not amazing new design tho
