- 18 CX-5
To be very very honest, while 17 to an extent deviates from the original design language (or Minagi's realization of the language), both 17's and 1st gen's exteriors have their attraction. Kind of smart casual vs. business formal, both have their own place, for different occasions, and both deserve admiration. 17 is perhaps targeting a different level of elegance (ie to some, more "boring" bus. formal).
