Leftlane has some new photos, as well.






I don't see too much Concept CS in this, however. I see a bit in the tails, with the upturn of the surface below the tail lights, and the large, low double kidneys...but other than that...

If I'm going that high up in class, I'll give up my BMW fanboy badge for an A8 or S-Class.

That's a real sharp crease down the side of the car. Looks good - Bangle must have told the designers to tone things down.

Hmm the camouflague makes it hard to tell how its going to look. But it looks nice so far but right now I would still take a 2007+ S klasse.

Give me an A8 instead. BMW is starting to catch Hondaitis/Acuraitis with their designs..... ugly and odd.

not really liking the front.

looks too subdued.

the S-class and LS look better and more upscale.

This what? fake photo? Always crack me up when people make such statements without even seeing the real car.

The grill looks too industrial...I hope they refine it a little for the production car. Everything else looks good to me!

The next thing we'll be reviewing is the professionalism of the camo.

I always liked the 7s styling even though alot of people hated it, but I always thought the interior needed a lot of work.

so ironic that the people criticized Nissan/Infiniti interiors and at least Nissan/Infiniti have done something about it. BMW, no, no, and no! they're just either too stubborn or knows that people will it cause of the brand name and prestige. Brainwashed by propaganda and brand names.

^ new BMW interiors are nice. Have you been inside the new X5? My only criticism of BMW is that it's the same interior in every car...

The 7 looks like a mini SUV with that ghastly grill.
What did i expect anyway ?
The old one wasnt a looker (Bangled up on the outside and Bungled up on the inside)

Agreed. There's nothing fresh and new about the dash layout.
