I can't stop chuckling.
No, really. This is just comical. This is to an A7 what the Mercury Capri (the one built Down Under) was to the Miata. That's my prediction, anyway. #fail

This entire thing is so confusing, what happened to even numbers (2,4,6,8) being a 2-door coupe and odd numbers (1,3,5,7) being a 4-door sedan? Can they just keep it simple? Certainly there can't be a market for people looking for just a GC and their needs can't be fulfilled through a wagon or X-SUV? I wonder what % of cars they sell are GC. This confusion in naming / numbering products is driving me away from the brand every day... |

This is just horrible.
This car looks horrible. It's adding a GT to model lineup that is not asking for one. It's ruining the image of the 6er being a high-end sleek and stylish car. It's not going to sell. If you want to sit up higher, there's already a 5gt, an X5, an X6, and soon an X7. Who is going to buy this hot mess? For a new release, it looks dated out of the gate. Horrible. BMW could have made a 6er sport wagon with a design that is in keeping with the 6er sleek styling. Instead, this??? Mercedes management must be sitting back and smiling right now. If BMW thinks this is okay, then what else will they be launching while Mercedes is releasing amazing, fresh, new designs. I absolutely don't want Bangle back. But, somebody needs to shake these guys up a bit. This is horrible. Horrible. oops, I already said that. |

OMG that's ugly!
Not only is this the worst move in BMW's history, this could go down as one of the worst in automotive history. Certainly the worst since the debut of the Pontiac Aztek. |

ghost edit eh
Chris Bangle is a genius of car design, and he is highly paid to this day accordingly. He is the Chef Designer of Samsung for one. Maybe make up your mind before you post.

OMG, simply ugly.
Simply bring the station wagon over and I will be more than happy to come back to BMW.

Funny. Funnier looking.
Seems BMW is happy building vehicles like Detroit did 25 years ago. Meanwhile Detroit builds vehicles precision-honed for the Nurburgring today.

Clearly there is a market for these ugly GT cars, that kinda target audience would look at this car and say this is more practical/spacious etc v/s the regular 5.
BMW themselves would be knowing that this is an ugly car but these days market/competition is pretty stiff hence they want to make as many car combinations possible from a single platform (which in this case is based on G30).

What happened to the large sports coupe the 6er was rumored to become?
This bullshit looks exactly like a 5er GT. Good job!
