I don't know why people still believe the new race will be the Pandaren. Some guys from Blizzard already said that it will be anything *BUT* pandaren (on gamingsteve.com i think). Why would Blizzard go to all the trouble to find an attractive horde race to finally give a super cool new Alliance race... that wouldn't make any sense. If the new race is not the Draenei it will surely be as ugly.
The new Alliance race cannot be pandaren. The expansion would have been released by now, however the planned race was pandaren, but about 1 month before the expansion was due to be released the Chinese kicked up a fuss about how it goes against their beliefs to kill Panda's and, let's face it, it's WoW - Pandaren will die left right and centre like any other race. So blizz had to go back to the drawing board. This is a fact. The Alliance Race will NOT be Pandaren.

More than likely the race will be cleaned up and polished a bit I'm sure it won't look the same as in game pics.
