Kenworth and Peterbilt released their new updated 579 and T680, both featuring new front end styling, lighting, and some significant interior updates such as a full digital dash. T680 has been my favorite "aero" truck, so I'm really digging the updated look, almost throwing back to the more narrow design of the T660. What do you guys think?

Good on them for moving the mirrors to the cab on the 579, but I don't see why they had to change the shape. My guess goes to improving visibility when making turns since that upper corner of the mirror isn't really used to begin with. They still look a bit on the small side though. Not really liking the narrowed hood either, but I'm sure they had their reasons.
T680's not too bad, I like it better than when I first saw the previous gen anyway.
Digital dashes still haven't quite grown on me yet, but if they function just as well as analog gauges or better, then may as well let it be. Complaining about electronic shit in vehicles is a waste of energy now and has been for the last 20 years.
It'll be interesting to see if they'll continue to make the "O/O" spec without skirts and what not.
