When I look at the three pictures from the link, I see something weird (to me, at least). It's the wing design at the root - looks like a very thick, classic leading edge, with most camber on top. This is a major departure from the modern (since the late 60s) designs used on all other airbuses and on Boeing 767, 777, 787, featuring a thin leading edge and much more camber at the bottom at the wing root.
Airbus say they are incorporating new wing design features they came up with during the A380 development. The A380 has a thick leading edge at the root, but still more camber at the bottom.

Presented in house colors - supposedly this could be the official roll-out, the focus being preparations for first flight.
This time the party was definitely at A.net...

Check it out A350 had a media day today, it looks nice but I don't like the black around the windows it makes it look like it needs a nose job. 787 still looks better
