Please don't insult the Aston Martin by comparing it to the botched new 7- series rear end.......

I prefer Aston Martin's rear end. It will look good on 6 series.

+2 on Accord, it does look that it.

I doubt the production 7 Series will look like the pic. Its so 'conventional' looking....has no presence of the current 7 Series at all.

Ugly...too generic looking. But then again, I thought the E60 was ugly when it first came out...its obviously grown on me and now I really love it...so much so I ordered a 550i!
