Are these the bones on which the new Rolls SUV will be built? If so, BMW has killed two cars with one design.
Ugly does not begin to describe this monstrosity.

Wow, what an atrocity of a design!
I can't actually see a single element of elegance in this design. We can clearly see some resemblence with the Concept VFL, they even used the same paint but somehow they managed to uglify all the elegance in the concept VFL and they ended up with this. I actually liked concept VFL! I can only assume this is why Karim Habeeb had to step aside, but then why would they approve this design? This is truly a mess! |

The last concept, the Z4, before that, the 8 series, both concept were awsome. X7 is the flagship SAV, and it's just a horrible try. Looks heavy at the back, bits and pieces from the XC90, and just a mess! What a letdown!

I don't think that you appreciate that we're probably not the target market for this. My local gym and sports club is already overrun with massive Range Rovers, Discoveries and Q7s driven by diminutive Trophy Wives who manage to dent adjacent car doors every time they park. A friend recently described one such blocking his exit from his space. He got out, annoyed, to find the woman in tears. "It's just too big - I simply can't park the thing!" He actually had get in and park it for her.
This will be spot-on for this segment.

All this time... I was so critical of designs coming out of Toyota and Lexus and ...f@ck was I wrong.. this doesn't even look like a bad photoshop! It's like literally mashing together every design element concept found in their line up and throwing it all onto one small rectangle on top a bigger rectangle...only that would be commendable if done by a 5 yr old..
Is there nothing right in the world left?? I mean Harvey and Irma and Trump and now this tragic concept!! |
