I think these pics are the best we've seen so far.
Look at the size of the wheels and relatively low profile tyres. Hardly any clearance in the wheel arches too. I would say this gen 3 would have bugger all off-road ability compared to the previous gens. A real shame. It's obviously become an AWD vehicle rather than a 4WD.
Interior looks interesting and quite luxurious. It will be good to sit in one in the showroom and check it out. The D pillar looks bloody thick from the inside though...it's going to suck for visibility out at the rear.
The EU version looks better than the US version, mainly coz of it hanging together cosmetically better (clear headlights, etc). The indicators on the mirrors are nice.
Funnily enough, I think it is a design which will initially grab your attention and shock you but grows on you quite quickly.
