The sad thing is that this picture is probably the best angle for this car, it looks much worse in other angles. The rear is not great either. I saw and sat in one at the LA Auto Show and the biggest drawback was that the rear doors are so long that they stick out way too far once they swing open. If it is parallel parked it would be almost impossible to swing open the rear door enough to be able to get out of the car without hitting the car next to you. My suggestion would be to AVOID parking next to an R class in a parking lot, unless you want door dings. I hope BMW's version would have a better solution for the doors.

I think I like it. The pic is at an odd angle. At a different angle, I'd might like it a lot, but, on the other hand, I respect Rody's judgment, and he's seen the car up close.

I like the front and side design. But the rear especially the taillight design, It looks cheap.
Overall, I like the car though. This is the best "woman" wagon in the market..unless BMW unleash their new beast !!
