Looks like a bad hack job to me. Not feeling this at all. . .

The competition: Quattroporte, Rapide, CLS, all look waaaaay better. With the Maserati looking the best and the Rapide a close second. And CLS gets mentioned because it created the segment. 8)

The front is ugly as hell, the rest is absolutley gorgeous, yeah it has some resemblance to the Rapide but not enough to call it a ripoff. The first thing I thought when I saw it is that the front reminds me of the Charger, just as Q said...I think it might be the headlights that give it that appearance.

BMW should definelty build this, just change the front and take it into production...

Holy crap the front is ugly, those nostrils are hideous!
Only a BMW fanatic could find something positive to say about that

Very ugly copy of the Rapide with the nose being the worst. I'm pretty sure that BMW wont make this piece of crap!

Don't forget the Panamera....which will also look hideous and completely miss the point

I wonder how BMW is going to introduce this to the public...

"Ladies and Gentlemen... feast your eyes on the Maserati Quattroporte's ugly sister!"



...and to think, I actually like BMW.

feelings around the shop were that this is going to make an interesting addition to the line up. Everyone seems to like the lines..with exception of the front, so i guess now, all we do is wait and see what is said about it.

They don't take a car to this level and not come through with something, so this SHOULD be what they have in mind.
