Oh boy, the "Gestapo" has finally come out of the closet! 
Mr. Freud, I never directed anything personal against you. (What in the above posts mentions that?) But if you want to bust my balls because I've defended my F10, then let's take this outside this forum. No need to clog up the threads with more personal attacks, unless you want to be perceived as another F10 troll.
PM me and let's talk.

Regarding your other comment, I am not fond of people who advice me not to "over analyzed it" because life is too short. You're rhetorics seemed annoyed by my analysis for whatever reasons, so I figured I would entertain you. Thanks for the invitation; you're not worth wasting my time since youd don't even see the point of this thread.

My point exactly. 
But to make my response relevant to this thread:
I am still on the fence about F10 "styling." That is purely subjective and a personal opinion. Thankfully, I'm not in the market to buy a car yet, so it may grow on me later. I am also performance and handling oriented. I prefer a sport sedan over a sports car or truck. If the technology in the F10 can offset its weight/size gain, that is great. If it continues to give me the connected to the road feel, that's great too, but unlike the majority in the poll, I would take the objective increase in performance over the connected feel. And finally, I do expect a 4.4 DI TT to output more than just 408 HP, but probably won't happen until a few more years or in an M5 - not considering aftermarket boosting.

The E60 with a M-Sport Package/ Aerodynamic kit looks as new, if not newer, than the F10!
At the end of the day, if BMW made a second generation LCI E60 (ie LCI 2 E60) and F10 at the same time, I know I will pick the E60 any day over F10 for design!
And to answer your second question, I would actually choose Mercedes Benz E-Class coupe AMG or Mercedes Benz CL-Class (I know they're different classes but meh) over the F10 right now without hesitation!

you don't have the prerogative to dictate what's subjective, do you?

And it goes without saying that the majority would agree that E60 w/ M-Sport looks as new, if not newer than the F10 (w/ or w/o M-Sport).
Glad I didn't spend $ for the F10!
Hope Adrian don't f#*k up w/ the new 6 Series in design!
