Tony,
I am no expert, but I believe you are not 100% correct. I own car # 1350 (2002), my friend Chris owns car # 1750 (2004) and our cars are different. Mine is the "old" stlye and his is the "newer" stlye. We have parked our cars side by side and you can really notice that my car (older cars) has more of a curve in the dashboard and the body. Chris's car (newer car) is flatter looking in the same area.
