Some funny quotes from the comment section.....

"As with the X6, BMW answers a question nobody asked."

"I think you guys got it right "For the U.S. Market, BMW will sell just one..." I can't imagine there being two people who would buy this."

"They should call it the 5 series Fugly. Or Pontiac, I think that name is available now."
