Fair enough. It's entirely possible I'm biased considering I hate pretty much all styling updates on cars where LEDs are added: GT-R, 911, E-Class, S-Class, etc. The only make that seems to get them right is Audi, the first make to do it widely and who everyone else is now copying -- badly IMHO. And even Audi has had some strange LED styling lately.

I dunno, for me I guess the halogens make the car appear more like a living beast (especially when they fade up when you press the Unlock button), whereas LEDs make it look like some sort of lifeless cyborg, and I find the former more intimidating/exciting.
