From what i can see from the 3rd picture, it looks almost like an X5 (looks nice), but wow the rest of it is just plain ugly

For some reason i like it, it's really what a cross-over should look like. Not like some deceiving incapable SUV.

Looks like a boulder fell onto the back of it

edit: Since ive been looking at it, I think it'd have looked much better if the back didn't end so abruptly...

I think it's going to be a sexy beast, especially with the 3.0 TT. I love these sporty SUV/Crossover type vehicles (Ie Infiniti FX, VW Concept T)

I really hated the concept drawings of this one, and when it is covered in tape you can't make a fair judgment. But I think it looks better than the drawings.

I dont understand what the point of this vehicle is. It seems like a more expensive X5 that has less utility.

That least the POS R-class Benz has good storage.

So price wise is this more than the X5? What is it supposed to actually be?

This is absolutely nauseating. If BMW is proud of the rear end of that design, I'll have to rethink my choice of cars...

+1 Aztec ass FTL. I can't imagine anyone looking at an Aztec and say "That vehicle right there is a beaut."

It's ugly and doesn't really say "BMW" to me... BUT, I actually almost like it, it has this rugged "rally" look to it. As someone said, it's kind of how my mind sees a crossover should be.

I was going to say the rear looks like a Prius at first quick glance.

I'm just not too thrilled with the latest styling cues.

What is the point of this monstrosity? How does it fill a role any different than an X5? It's like an X5 but more expensive and with less space. Probably will even have the same engines. This is the most useless vehicle on the planet. Then again, most SUV's are useless... who goes offroading in their X5? Seriously.
