E60 more distinctive than F10; why would you trade in for the new one?

I saw the new 2010 7-Series at the gym and if that's the face of things to come, I was very disappointed indeed.
It had a commanding presence but even the Lexus LS looks more dynamic and purposeful.
The new Z4 with its fluid lines and lower squat profile:
its lost that taut sexiness that you got from the previous version.
The only car other than the E60 is the 3-series coupe/convertible that can set hearts racing.
Granted the X6 is a bold statement, and face-lifted versions will no doubt enhance what its got.
But how about BMW taking the good hard look at the Bangle magic again!!
At this rate, my next car is going to be a Jaguar XF or the E-Class coupe and I know I am going to miss the Beemer

Point is, does BMW have the b@!!$ to green-light its own concepts
OR have the bean counters totally taken over!
I mean, look at the CS. I would buy it tomorrow.

Please tell me why you would trade in your E60 for the F10?!
As for the X6 - it's definitely a polarizing model. I've seen it up close and it looks nice, but then I think EVERY BMW looks nice. I think BMW did good by making an X6M variant which enhances its niche status. However, I think the X5M with the same exact motor was a bad decision.

I really don't like the F10. When I'm in the market (8 yrs from now) to get my new car, If the F10 is still the current model I'll just see myself getting an '09 M5.

My Ride: A Car
no matter how much I'll hate the looks of thr F10, i'll probably keep the e60 (thats what I say with every car), and then alson get the F10. It might probably grow on us but the nhew 7 still has NOT grown on me yet.

Neither the old or new 7 series has grown on me yet. I don't like it at all.

You really gotta see it in person, too. It has such a commanding presence and stance.
