It's an Audi at the back and a tweaked BMW front! LOL

its better than bmw's new designs. the rear end of the new 7 series is a carbon copy of the lexus. the new 5 series is a copy of the ugly ass 7. the new bmw designs are terrible. If i own a bmw again it will be a current model 5, or 3 series. If it isnt either of those i will wait for the next release in like 6 years.

Yeh... I'm not enjoying the sight of the new evolution era BMW vehicles at the moment... I'm hoping that the new upcoming F13 6 Series Coupe will look beautiful! Other than that, there are no BMW models that I'd like to purchase at the moment... I was hoping that the F10 5 Series would look beautiful but I don't like it at all! When the E60 5 Series came out, I loved it at first sight! I've never liked a car design that much ever in my life!

i think the new mb direction is going to be nothing like this concept. its too different and looks NOTHING like the path they're actually taking ATM. it might be a possibility that this style is to be released in like 5 years, although the final product will be much different, or "refined" as we like to call it

and i think the new bmw lineup looks pretty sweet in person. (though i haven't seen the f10 yet) and i think they have incredible modding potential

I saw an F01 on the road the other day. I'm not feeling the design of the front end at all. At first glance I thought I was looking at a Dodge Charger with angel eyes.

I had a scary thought looking at this concept just the other day: what if this is what the new CLS going to look like? hope not... curious how all the big German brands - specifically, Audi with the new A8, BMW with the F10, Porsche with the Panamera (although I like it) and now M-B with this concept - are "uglifying" their designs. I'm curious to see where this leads... might even lead me into an Infiniti or Acura showroom eventually while there is E92, there is still hope!

The front reminds me of the new CTS. Very large front grill.
