Didn't even know BMW was going into the crossover market
Looks like one of their concept vehicles I saw at a car show last year. But it was a sedan.

Couldn't I just take my X6, lower it, and have the same thing for a few hundred million less in development costs?

No, the chassis itself is not as tall, but sedan proportions with a hatch.
I think this is BMW's way to push a 5 series wagon in the US.

How about we post a picture of the car that actually... shows a bit more of the shape of the car.

The whole thing seems very... concept-y, not production at all.

Fastback sedan with a little more roof and the front end of the CS concept. Looks like it's gonna be called the 5-series GT. This is probably the standard 5er front end as well. I like it, looks nice.

I think it's very production-intent. The whole interior looks like a mildly customized production interior - I think this is what we'll see on the road.

Don't like it as much as I thought I would. It could be that gold color, or it could be Hooydonk standing next to it that's throwing me off. I'll always associate him with the abomination that is the previous generation 7 Series.

However, I'm going to definitely give this one some time to grow on me. The idea of a 5 door, fastback shaped car like this appeals to me.

The front looks pretty good, bodes well for the new 5 sedan.

The rest looks horrid though...

I actually like MB's more than BMW's designs lately. I am glad Bangle is leaving BMW although certain vehicles of his actually look amazing (current X5 and the Z4).

Because one's a trunk (though it's not really a trunk... more like an anus) and the other is a hatch!

I hate the X6. I love this. Maybe because it's not crossing with SUV DNA.



I like things with 4 wheels and also things with 2 wheels.

Except it doesn't have the utility of an SUV. The 5er Wagon is the vehicle you described, this is simply a 5er Hatch.

What if your primary need is for passenger room and comfort, not outright cargo space?

Yes Martha, you can get your new 2010 Toyota 4Runner with a 4-cylinder. As long as it's 2WD. And as long as it's with an old 4-speed automatic.

Not too bad. Not sure what the point is, but not too bad. Also gives lots of hints how the next 5 series will look like.

This place is is insane - the biggest complaint I hear in the Car Lounge is that VW's are too expensive when loaded up with options and yet when they want to decontent and lower the price, the complaints get even louder. You can't have it both ways.

don't like the idea, but the trunk idea seems cool. I love the new 5-series headlights compared to the current headlights.
