Its a new era , when they will be released , our cars will seemed to be old fashioned , and 15 year old !! The evolution of the f80 to the g80 is much more than the evolution of e36 to e90 !

Not everyone is smiling. Some people will like it. Some people will not. Remains to be seen where the majority will lie.

Horrible grilles or not (to me they're horrible) I still despise the front & rear bumper designs. Far too much going on creating an ugly mess.

Reminds me of the Max Power styling back in the day in a bad way, anyone remember the ghastly Veilside bumpers?

That is true, but the response this time around is more positive than previous threads.

I, too, see more Audi in the design than Ford.

Nope-ity, nope, nope. Overall design is a mess, including grill. Too many conflicting lines and curves...nothing flows.

I don't particularly like the G20, either. The upward sweeping line on the side doesn't fit, for example.

I was smitten the very first time I saw a F30 across a parking lot. This thing makes me want to look away.

It's growing on me as well. And I guess Bmw is smart because they showed us that ugly ass concept than tus toned down version with proper light proportions and such becomes a much better option than it might've been before.

That's because the front continues to get slightly less ridiculous with each rendering. Still don't like it but its better than the last one so the response is relatively warmer

I just hope that they have learned from the past. The hoodline is a deal breaker for me. So sad to see that they did not fixed it on the new 1 series. Lets hope that they managed to vanish the hood line!
