WTF? Seriously...

Anyone that thinks this looks good needs to see an ophthalmologist ASAP! FYI, this is the identical front end styling on the LCI X7.

Lighted kidneys. Come on.

That and if I was an SUV guy the current X3.

I hope they sell a metric shit ton of G87’s to prove there is still a market for a halfway decent looking actual sporty BMW.

The front end is awful, but I wouldn't mind hanging out in that back seat. It looks pretty comfy

This actually makes anything Bangle had a part of look good.

Darth Vader comes to mind. And what's with the cutline on the hood? Looks like a kid's retainer.

That entire hood makes me want to push it so I can load a CD.

I still love the fact that on my 03 M5 behind the Nav was a CASSETTE player!! Not a CD slot.

WTF!! Even my 01 330ci had an in dash CD player!

Weird world we live in when Genesis does the split headlight, and quite good btw, and BMW FOLLOWS!!

I was just thinking the same thing. Genesis split headlights have a flow and elegantly fit the overall design. This looks unfinished, angry and horrible — similar to some of the Toyota trunk front designs.

At the prices these sell for, the design should be elegant, not angry.

The Genesis design language is absolutely outstanding. This is more like Jeep Cherokee design language.
