Looks like the facelifted F-pace was just revealed:
https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/14/...#slide-2263305 Now that it has the inline 6 and a much better interior, this might be solid contender over the x3 40i. They've also managed to keep what worked about the exterior but tweak it nicely (not always what happens in facelifts). |

What is it with the enormous grill openings on new cars?
The new BMW grills are the posterchild for hideous. The new front end of the F-pace... those low cheek areas are not good (but nowhere as gross as the BMW) I do like the car and its interior - but that aspect of the front just has me gritting my teeth...

On the cars it’s kind of silly (example - new 7 series) but on the SUVs it just doesn’t bother me as much... there’s a lot of area there and you have to do something with it. Do you prefer a large grill, or even larger headlights, or a bigger plastic bumper?

So, the letters in that license plate happen to be my initials.

Yep. Doesn’t bother me either. I do think the one in the pic is the top trim model - I think the other variants likely have a more subdued bumper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
