I'm still not feeling it. Just hasn't got the wow factor the E60 first had with it's 'ahead of it's time' styling. Just looks like a big E90 IMHO.

Nice to see an AW F10...judging by the exhaust tips I wonder if that's a 530i

I really just don't know how I feel about this thing. I won't make a firm judgment until all the camo is gone, but this just does not have a 'sleek' look to it like the E60 does. It also looks very large. Both of these issues are probably due to the blunt front end (which apparently has to do with pedestrian impact laws??). It looks larger than the E60 and don't even compare it to the E39. Bigger is not always better. Bring back the sportiness!

Looks like E60 and E39 molded in one. Definitely needs a a great looking spoiler to take away the "volvoish" front
