The new 7 will be more aggressive looking (compared to the current 7's headlights). It takes on some of the designs from the CS concept. The side profile looks very nice. Looks like BMW will get a proper 7 series this time.

Most of the sedans in this class (LS, A8, S class) are too big and are for old people.

Were they testing the LWB (Long Wheel Base) version? cause that's a long sedan. Of course the lowered stance doesn't help, but geesh, that's a long car.

I still think the current 7series is ogly.

THis looks like it has potential to look better than the current. Its more toned down is seems.

The silver one is the short wheel base.

The blue one is the long wheelbase model.

No chance.....he put the industry on notice...and now the industry is copying elements of his designs. Like him or not, he and elements of his designs are here to stay.....and not just for BMW.

Other than the old tail on the current 7 series and the 6 series. I think Bangle has done an excellent job.

Bangle fails on the Z4 and X3. 6 is ugly. 1, 3, 7, X5 and X6 are ok. 5 and 3 coupe are gems.

Well sort of... but when your being massaged, with the seat coolers on, crusing on the highway with active cruise control and listening to 7.1 audio, I think that experience should make up for it. If you want to see ugly, look at the rear end of an new s class...

^ Me too. It's toned down, but I always thought the Bangle designs were overdone. So this is a nice middle of the road approach.

Much better than the previous gen but I still prefer the styling of the S-Class.

Anything looks better than the previous 7 series, however this still doesn't do anything for me. Oversized kidney grilles have GOT TO GO! WTF...seriously. If they were smaller the car would look 1000x better. Interior looks typical BMW, not bad but not amazing. Nothing beats the E38 I'd take a S550 over this any day of the week!

That rear end is horrible.

Overall the car doesn't look like an $80,000 in the pictures IMO.

All the rear ends on those super luxury cars are fugly, the A8, the S class and the 7...

S CLASS


A8, not as bad, but still not the best possible:

It's okay. Nothing exciting. The S-Class still wins.
