JR Propo is introducing some new radios with updated styling at the Tokyo 2011 Model Show. It's hard to get more details at this time since the info is in Japanese, but you can follow the source link and see some photos from the JR Propo booth at the show in Tokyo via the source link.

The previous models with the chromed faces looked even more like robots to me. JR sure has some odd styling in my mind, but hey, it's just a matter of taste.
