Truthfully I was expecting it to be significantly worse. It looks fairly aggressive/mean in this photo. As usual it is probably best we reserve judgment until we see it in person.

Edit: I read several comments stating it is very Jeep like.

That’s not bad actually. The huge grills work on huge SUV’s. I was worried about the squinty headlights, but at this angle they look ok.

I am not the demographic for this vehicle class so take that for what it is.

Those are just the DRLs. The headlights are hidden behind tinted plastic lower in the bumper cover. See pic.

Ok I don't like that.

As the time goes on - make is easier and easier to know my next new car will be an old E38 or E39....

Seriously....

When I get 10 years older and dont want to shift anymore I will search for an 01 Shortie Sport E38 in Alpine White.

That's about what I expected. Could be worse. My lease is up in October 2023 and we'll probably get another one. I'm very curious about the engine choices though. Apparently there will be a new TT V8 and all powertrains will get a 48V mild hybrid system.

The mild hybrid is seamless (so far.) And really helps with gas mileage and stop/start smoothness.

Query, though, about having two batteries to worry about…
