IMO this is NOT new 7 series pics. Or I simply can't believe there is so much of old 7, Lexus, and Maserati Quattroporte in it.
It looks fine, but too boring, plain, and simply non-BMW.

Thought I give it a fresh look after a few days.
It is still hideous. Its honestly hard to find words too describe how ugly it is.
That chrome sidemarker, looks like one of those "joke" ebay items people post.
No doubt the S-class murders this thing. The next gen Audi A8 is going to kill this 7-series. I can't believe I am about to say this, I would rather have Lexus LS.

it looks pretty bad to me :thumbsdown: .... the grille is too big and the tailights look awful. the exhaust seems like an afterthought and the 5 series style rear reflectors look tacky. maybe it will look better in person.
if i was in the market, id definitely get a MB, then an audi, then a lexus, then this.

just to remind you guys Toyota copied the 7s and e60s rear for the Camry and the LS, so now in an evolutionary process if the 7 looks more like the LS.....then I guess we dont know what happened......btw that LS is looking pretty damm good in that angle !

My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i, Silver Grey, Sport Package, R. Shades, Cold Pkg, Sat. Rad., Prem. Sound.
The front grill reminds me the shape of a volvo. The bottom front minds me of the 545i look. The sides reminds me of the x5 pattern. The rear side remind me of the Lexus LS. The rear reminds me of the LS and current 5 series.
I'm just good to have to look at it in person to really know. But from the pics, looks like the next vehicle's going to be a Lexus. When it comes to big luxury sedans, I'm going to side with Lexus styling (though I really hate the fronts), but interested in MB ride.
