Yeah, I don't like how it looks either. I think that they should have moved the headlights down into the area around the grille.
If you read the allpar article, the engineers chose function over form (moving the headlights up so they wouldn't be damaged in an accident).

Not quite. The headlamp position from the Fiat Ducato hasn't changed at all.
They are touting the headlamp positions and the "modular front end" both as parts that lower the total cost of ownership. In a frontal crash, the headlamps are out of the way and less likely to be damaged or require replacement.
I like how you say "Not quite" and then echo exactly what I said (the article said) :p

My point was that they weren't moved AT ALL. They are in the same location that the Ducato uses. There was nothing really for the engineers to "choose" in that regard. ;)
So the Fiat engineers don't count? ;)

I still think they are saving $ to just keep it a Fiat and change the grill only is the big reason.
Well, of course. Some people seem genuinely surprised by that though...
