no, a high beltline and small greenhouse is more reminescent of a coupé, period. | | | | | Expert

Looks better than the E65 and the tail lights are pleasing to look at. The back row looks impressively comfortable and I love the built in handle in the wood panel on the door. Overall shape is gorgeous as well.
On the down side the front end doesn't look at new as the rear and neither does it look as gracious, it's a bit weak in character and flair compared with cars like the X6. The same applies to the center console in the interior which is a tad to similar to the the rest of the line up. So far the car is alright but I expected it to be more striking. It's not an ugly car but neither is it a full home run, and that's mostly because of the front end.  | | | | | The Following 5 Users Say Thank You to Centurion For This Useful Post: | | | Aficionado

lol, ROB, what's wrong with you? The car is a mix of C and A8 now? Please stop!
And Centurion, there isn't even a proper shot of the frontyet, so you might as well stop too | | | | | Devotee

I have to say the design of the lower half of the front bumper is a surprise and I am still getting used to it, the shape of the head lights are a lot softer than expected and those tail lights aren't doing it for me either, they are just too big. However I like how the side character line going into the side of the tail lights.
The rest of the car looks pretty sexy. | | | | | Trendsetter

We're probably one of the 1st people in the whole world to see a new 7er and it's only a 3rd page and you're starting with it.
