Just thought I would ask everyone to vote on looks alone. 2016 vs. 2017:slapfight:. I like the 2016 more but the 2017 is growing on me. Whats your vote and thoughts!?
I'm not crazy about the look of the 17', but I think it's just going to take some time to adjust. Resale will probably be better and it's got the new shifter so you'd escape that whole controversy. I say go for the 17'
2016's have the new shifter also, and voting for the 2017 loved the 2014+ but the black plastic filler panels under the headlights and the large smiling body line between the grill and bumper is what was holding back our order since 2014. Loving the '17 refresh hope it looks great in person also should be able to post some pictures around early Oct.
At first I didn't like the '17 but it's starting to grow on me, too. IMO the fascia in the spy photos isn't as muscular looking as earlier models, but has a refined look.
I'll miss the bumper LED light bars as, for me, they've always visually set the SRT(8) apart from the other GC models.
I'm still not sure how I feel about the 17, so at this point I will vote 16. I love the look of the 16 model and I'm sure the 17 will grow on me in time. I need to see better pictures of the 17 model rather than the spy shots and seeing it in person will most likely change my opinion big time.
I don't know... I like it but I also don't... I have a 75th so I'm biased in that I do like the new front end of my GC, but on the SRT it's a tougher call. I was never a fan of the "smiling" front end was happy to see the change come to the rest of the line though.
I am not a fan. After they added Siri Eyes free to the old 8.4ANs and seeing what the new ones would look like, I've decided to keep my '14 for at least five years. Hope Stormtrooper doesn't mind, but this is the best looking front end:
Such a tough call. I'm torturing myself right now trying to figure out if I should pull the trigger on the 16' Night edition or order the 17'...I really can't decide.
I'm a latest and greatest guy when it comes to technology but I'm not seeing too many upgrades in that area on the 17'...only parallel park assist and lane assist. Is that correct?
Looks like the 17's don't have as much chrome pieces as the current so maybe a black out edition on the 17 isn't needed?
Looks like we will still have to replace the badges with black night edition badges though but grill rings ect. look black on the pre production test rigs.
I think one my first posts on this forum entertained the idea of swapping parts from a summit to an SRT (basically a sin, I know). But if you could have the 2017 SRT with the front fascia of the 2017 summit (chrome accents not included), would you consider it?
Personally, I don't find the redesign of the SRT as pleasing to the eye as the 2014-2016 models. But if I were to take delivery of a 2017 SRT, I'd probably start the engine, drive home, and shut up.
I won't be offended if you roll your eyes at this one. In my opinion, the 2016 SRT is very pleasing to the eye. But the more I looked at each model of the 2017 lineup, the more I started wondering. I didn't get too technical with my rendering, just a basic photo edit to visualize a the 2017 SRT with the 2017 summit front fascia.
Then I messed around a bit with the grill rings and ended up with this
Now, I realize that this is not a very pure build, and that even de badging the SRT can be frowned upon. I just happen to think that the 2017 summit front fascia is pretty sharp looking.
