I agree,I didn't like the 2nd generation until 2012,when they changed the grill! I bought a 2013 the next year!I said the same thing when the 2nd generation came out. Took me till 2014 for the 2nd gen styling to settle in fort liking. We'll see how the 3rd gen settles in.
I agree , it has to have some serious mechanical improvement for it settle in among the enthusiasts
