The low-res display image doesn't give us much that we can't see from the prototype's exterior, granted, but we can see the larger, squared-off front end prominently against the silver finish. There's also a little spoiler showing on the rear deck that is not deployed on this prototype, but if you close your eyes really tight and use your imagination ...
