99-00 vs. 01-02 Front Ends
Does anyone else here think the exterior of the 99-00 models look much better? I like the classy look compared to the bloated girly face of the the new ones. On the other hand the Protege5 and MP3 front ends look great.

Front ends.
The 99-00 front end in my opinion is more bold. i have a 01 and i find its front is sleeker. its preference. i like the 01 better, but only cause the lights on the 01 is nicer. but im not too pleased that the corners on mine cant be removed.

I like the front bumper of the 99-00's a lot better. But I like the headlights and the hood of the 01's. It looks like the hood indents in a bit more, which I like. Maybe it's just the pictures though. But I definately like the 99-00 front end better aside from the headlights.

car for car i much mor eprefer the 01, my friend owns a 99, and when i was car shopping thats how i thought the protge still looked and i was not impressed at all, but when i saw the 01, i became much happier with it, to tell u the truth, the moment i saw one on the dealership, i walked up to the dealer asked them if they had it in balck, and then said, im buying this car, came back 2 days later and bought it

Um...the hoods haven't changed from 1999 to 2002...only the headlights, grill, and front bumper.
