Not sure what it is but I'm not liking it. Guess I'm used to and like how the current E60 looks a bit more squatted down and aggressive from the rear and more like a real sedan. The rear on the F10 looks too coupish and tucked/raised, making it have less of a "presence" for what I consider a nice executive class sedan.
the f10 in the pics definitely looks bland....lowered, shadowline trim and wheels with some concavity and more aggressive offset will help...seems all the test vehicles spotted are non-sport versions...

I never noticed the similarity (from the back) to the Infiniti M series before! BTW, they COULD have washed the damned thing!

the rear 3/4 view looks like the older accord.

it's OK. I think the metallic paint will look better than the solid colors. Silver /gray would look sharper.
