It’s fairly bland, which I’m not really surprised by. I like it, think it’s a good evolution from the e60 with a bit of new 7 and e90 tossed in. Oh, it shares it’s chassis with the new 7. Now I’m REALLY not surprised. ---

looks like they are unbangling… if placed on a timeline 10 years from now i might confuse this for being the predecessor to the previous generation. The previous one was more of a leap forward… this is a half step back to a more genericly appealling body type ---

I hate the line where the front bumper meets the hood. Its terrible, ruins the hood lines running forward. Very “E90-ish” front end, not in love with it, but it looks decent. ---

looks a little more reasonable than some of their previous designs as already stated. i dunno about that lower grille. looks a little too “hyundai genesis coupe” to me. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=11144&stc=1&d=1259030242](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=11144&stc=1&d=1259030242) Brian ---
