The best we can do is support styling changes that are efficient in the face of criticism.

When people post on boards saying X new car is uglier than the old one because they raised the rear deck and made the car more aerodynamic, I feel the duty to chime in and say "I think it looks great!". There's a lot of people stuck in the stone age who want their brick like 50s designs.
