The frames do look a bit different, almost more toward the mountain bike side of things. To my eye they look good though.
For whatever reason, the USA & Canada Trek websites don't currently show the 2015 8.5 DS on it, but Trek's pages for Australia, England, Germany, France, Japan & China do show it.

I actually think it is the best colour scheme of all the DS bikes.
