Having said that, the current TARDIS is so badass in comparison, it's hard to look at the new one without thinking "fugly".
Skip five years back in time and RTD is getting death threats for approving a Police Box that's the wrong size and shape and with the wrong windows.
Skip forward a few years and if it changes again people will be wisihng for the good old Moffat box back...
This photo makes the Police Box look far less huge. I can't help but think the others were a bit of an optical illusion.

If they re-do the interior, I'd like something like this (suitably updated for HD, of course). Quite roomy, though it would perhaps look better with brushed metal and a lot of posh Victorian era props (chairs, tables etc) as a contrast enhancer. Perhaps a carpet and a few oak-lined walls.
Or, failing that, something unnerving like this might be interesting as well.
I think it mainly has to do with the show being in HD now. The brighter blue will show up better on tv screens instead of the current one.Hmmmm ... I'm not likely to get worked up about it, but I side with Sci, I liked the Thomas (Eccleston-Tennant) model. I can't help but wonder why they'd paint the Tardis up to look so new ... unless ...
Say, you don't suppose that isn't actually the current Tardis, do you? Might the first story involve paths crossed with an earlier incarnation, requiring Smith's Doctor to hijack an earlier Tardis?
Anyway, who knows what necessitated the construction of a new prop? Perhaps the old one was wearing out, or new materials allowed for a Tardis that could be broken down and transported easier. I'll wait and see what the final product looks like on screen before I toss eggs at it.
Besides, imagine if J.J. Abrams had gotten hold of it ...![]()

we need a David Cameron to promise "A TARDIS on every Street" I think of many ways that might help with crime, however I fear that if it was found empty someone might pee in it.
