i am not feeling the front end too much is this what the new 7 and 5 series will look like.

Ucan · 04-19-2007, 10:04 AM

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I feel like the more they increase the size of the front grille kidneys the more the car looks like a warthog...which is not a good thing in my opinion. Especially when you look at the side mirrors sloping upward it reinforces the warthog image because the mirrors look like small ears. That being said, I do like the back.

The Honda Accord is a much more alluring design.

It looks fine, I am sure it would be an experience to DRIVE.

Looks like a Million Years Old Shark. Nice !!!

Revlis · 04-19-2007, 10:22 AM

I like it, I imagine that they'll shrink up the grill just a touch and make the mirrors a little bigger for production.

Otherwise it's a nice fresh look...

love the back, not feeling the front.....but it looks interesting.
4 dr 6 series?

De90man · 04-19-2007, 10:26 AM

This looks like what BMW is going to put up against the Porsche Panamera, Merc CLS, and the Aston Martin Rapide on the high end.

It's that 'coupe profile' with sedan doors. Look how much they've done to visually mask the rear doors to make it look sexy.

Merc's CLS really caught the industry off guard and has been selling extremely well despite its E Class under-pinnings.

I think this a nice trend in car design and totally fits with BMW's 'cake (<--sport) and eat-it-too (<--sedan)' mantra.

hideous

bronco · 04-19-2007, 10:31 AM

I dont like it. I dont like the whole coupe, but not a coupe design...For me it is either a coupe with 2 doors, or a sedan with 4.

But I like the rear end for a coupe

Gort · 04-19-2007, 10:39 AM

The front is looking a little too much like a Dodge Charger to me.

Craigito · 04-19-2007, 10:46 AM

Hate the front..back is ok. Really has an Aston Martin side profile. Especially the headlights and the front of the hood. Anybody agree?

+1. Aston Martin front from a 3/4 profile all the way. Enough of a disclaimer for ya? I actually like it.

Thor · 04-19-2007, 11:01 AM

I like it! I think the back looks awesome. The front is not as good as the back but I still think it's cool. The car looks mean!

I am huge fan of the Aston Martin cars.
