BMW new 5 series and 6 series will share lights





Autospies say that if we substitute the front and rear lights of the 5 series interpretation above with the lights of the 6 series at the bottom, the car looks very close to the production car we will see soon.

I'm not so sure about the headlights, but the car actually looks pretty good....

The tail looks fantastic in that drawing....

Im sure i will like the car once i see it. BUT damn it bmw whats with that interior? What happened to the dash being more for the driver, as in a cockpit feel.

Interior layout reminds me of the older towncars.

BMW is going to hell in a handbasket. The fugliness began with the new 7 series and has been spreading through the company like industrial leprosy.

It's just not the headlights but the whole front end. The interior styling is Kelvinator approved and the I-drive is an unmitigated disaster. This one's not as bad as the Aztek but it was a strong influence. The marketplace will spank BMW for these blunders.

Acura may be a bit plain but it does have dignity and self-respect.
