Here are two high quality images to have a look at:
The nose is a little bit smaller and front suspension seems to have been redesigned. Not sure yet what keel layout though.
The rear, as with all cars quite narrow. Here MF1 has shark gills just behind the exhausts. A first time I think

The keel is a twin keel set up, laid out much like a keel-less design as the keel are splayed out, very simialr to the 2003 Jordan. the nose cone itself is quite wide and flat.

Did Dallara actually end up building this car?

the lower element in this picture is interesting. It is not connected to the sidepod but rather a vertical turning vain. I would like Tomba's or Scarbs point of view on this detail, to me it looks like a valid idea in that it alows for cleaner air to the defuser but still develops some down force and possibly a small reduction in drag by moving air over the rear tire rather than into it.

Paolo Filisetti's comments on the car for a finnish news paper:
"It's the same car as EJ15B half a year ago. The nose is just a little lower. Every single detail is the same, only the livery makes it look different."
And I thought what he does at F1.com was enough to stone him.
This car is more different than the new Mclaren and the new ferrari put together. Seriously. The front suspension alone has changed completely. Not to mention the sidepods have been redesigned, they curve in
very dramatically. Plus the airbox cutoff is much steeper. The exhaust area has changed. Rear wing. Nose. The sidepod flick-up setup has evolved; the lower flick-up is connected to the vertical strut (a logical evolution on the two parts). The sidepod intake flick-ups have changed. Did I mention the car is now a no keel/twin keel hybrid? The air intakes have changed. The gearbox/rear impact structure bodywork has changed.
I would expect that the new Toyota V8 brings a few differences comparing to the v10 powered EJ15b. Starting with the fact that it's about 20% shorter...
And that's just what you can see from a few photos.
Damn that guy is a clown, and they pay him for what he does.
Bernie, take a firm grip of your wallet. Whatever you pay for this guy's services, it's too much.

No, since Midland acquired Jordan, hence all the facilities to design and build a complete car, they made it clear to Dallara that they didn’t need their help anymore; since then Dallara did just consultancy work on aero, but I believe the relationship is now closed.

This is exactly the case...

I fear they'll need more than the Force to get results with this car.

They'll need to embrace the dark side...(Max!)
