is it just me or have you guys been noticing more orange on new cars. The 2009 toronto autoshow showed alot more orange in the headlights I have noticed. Just take a look at the 2009 Nissan Titan...

i was also looking through the latest vw brochure and saw the passat with some very orange headlighting compared to the exact same model of 2008....

just something ive been thinking about. I then saw an isuzu rodeo with cleared out corners today and realized how common it is and now with all the improvements ive done to my q.....I dont really see the hassle in throwing my corners into the oven! unless there was an easier way but otherwise...maybe orange is cool again!

When you don't change any of the sheet metal, the only way to make the car "fresh" again is by changing the lights. Most mid-model refreshes will have minor tweaks on the metal, but huge changes in the light department. New lights make the vehicle look "new" and thus a small bump in sales will follow becuase the vehicle doesn't look as dated.

Wheels can do the same thing.
