new USA made F1 GS-D3 vs. old non-USA made?

Has anyone had a set of the old F1 GS-D3's and replaced them with a set of the new USA made ones, and if so, have you noticed any differences?

My Goodyear purchacing stopped with the regular F1s and I'm not a big fan of them..
I miss the gatorback and esp the GSCs.
The "new" ones out now look like clown shoes to me.

I agree with you in terms of looks, but you certainly can't compare the performance of the old gatorbacks or GSCs vs new GS-D3s.
