The mule in germany looks for some reason much better than this newest one.

But Imo the one in germany either has camo that makes it look better, a highly spec'd model (my guess) or I hope not, one that they are using mainly to get good performance numbers.

I know options come into play wheels, tires, brakes, aero parts and interior etc.. But if these new test mule pics came out 1st? I bet It wouldn't have had the same impact as the previous one. My point is a bare 370 doesn't look so hot.

Don't get me wrong I still love the look. As I wasn't planning on getting a base model anyway.

Who ever took the first photo used a wide angle lense and it distorts the car. You can see how close the person was standing when they took the photo. I am guessing they did not have more room to back up. They are probably leaning against a guard rail.

Also, the German car has lower aspect tires and larger wheels.

Supposedly (it was written in one of the articles about the new US mule) Nissan will release high res images of the car October 19th. I'll search through later and find it unless someone can do that sooner.

The car in the bottom pic has the sport package. Note the 1" larger rims with lower profile tires, rear wing, the front lower lip (under the front bumper, like the old Track model), the aero bulge on the corner of the front bumper, and the 4-piston Brembo front and 2-piston rear calipers.
