I got an E60 pretty early, and was one of the first with the SMG. I liked the E60. I will be so disappointed if the F10 is fugly.

Honestly, one could buy a 2010 E60 and still have it feel and look as new as the F10 for years to come. I would say atleast halfway through the F10's life cycle the way the LCI E39s still look very new and modern, yet somewhat conservative. That's why I loved it so much.

Well, if that's what it's gonna look like, they must have replaced Chris Bangle with a designer from Volvo.

Even in the spy shots, the lines look very Volvoish to me... And, aside from the 1994 850,I haven't seen a sexy Volvo since the XC90 came out.

I do hope the bring the Li version of the 5 to the US, as they have in certain Asian countries, and to compete with the A6L.

The only problem is, they don't offer the Li with the V8 in the 5 series.

It would be nice to a longer wheel base 5er. But would it take away from the sporty look of the car? I don't have a mental picture of an A6 and an A6L to compare, but the few inches added on to it may change the looks completely. If anything, they should put it in the lower end 5ers since those wanting the V8 probably want the power and speed and the longer wheelbase would be counter-productive.

IMHO E60 IS THE SEXIEST CURRENT MODEL SEDAN*
That's exactly what everyone said about the E39 when the first shots of the E60 came out!

Well, they were discussing the F10 M5 in article about three days ago and using the updated view of the car with the camo, that was the latest rendering they came up with. Looks closer and closer to the real thing.

Very bland, non-distinct design. Doesn't look like a 5-series at all.
