Because it's online and the car enthusiasts community tends to like a design that is further back in years like the E30/E46 than current gen cars. Those of you who think we are the majority are way off in your assumption.
For a car that is catered to the masses it might do okay. Guess we will see.

It's been labelled a 6 because the even numbers are coupes , come on it's not that hard to work out.
It's playing that's it's a coupe, 6GC has gone so rebrand the 5 GT as the 6 GT. simple and good marketing by BMW

I would not go a second far as that...

They do care about thier heritage as is seen by thier consistent raft concept cars that reinterpret past glory into the modern era and detractors aside the general consensus is joy and genuine enthusiasm by automotive fans and customers alike. What mystifies me (and others I suspect) is why they show us amazing sizzling things and then slap us with cold utilitarian products that although provide great substance cover vast segments, miss the heartbeat jumping cars thier loyal fan base carves. M1 heritage, Vision Luxury, CSL concept and 2002 hommage concept and others (http://www.bmw.co.uk/en_GB/topics/di...ncept-cars.htm) are mouth-watering propositions that would have seriously changed the perception of BMW regardless of other models in the line up. Many of us would be satisfied if one would make it into the modern range. As for M and i; they are great and leaders in their respective segments but need a bit more sparkle to reach thier true best potential. Last edited by N & M; 06-19-2017 at 01:58 PM..

I came to drop a negative comment about how the car made me feel but I see this has been well taken care of

I came to say the exact same thing. Looks like a Honda Civic Touring in profile, which is another ugly assed car.
Actually, this reminds me of the Honda Accord Crosstour. Another example of "OMG that's ugly!" Last edited by MightyMouseTech; 06-19-2017 at 03:42 PM.. |

It looks like an A7, that's been eating far too much. The bloated body and raised ride height are not a good combo. Say all you want about commanding view, but I repeat, buy an SUV then. And I agree. Adding a +1 to the name was the stupidest move of them all.

Well, there are two ways to look at this 6GT.
You can look at what it brings to the table, and how it look less f***** than the original 5GT. It´s not a E46 by any means, but it´s number (6GT) makes sense in view of it´s origin and position. Or you can trash it to death as most of you guys does. It´s easy, if you don´t like it, don´t buy it. The original was ugly as sin, the 6GT looks not half the F13 was, but it´s so much better than the 5GT, the numbers will reflect this fact.

When I did the matte black wrap, the body lines became far more accentuated. Paired with the coilovers I have (far lower than what most GT owners would ever be okay with), the visual bloat has definitely been reduced. Note the picture - IMHO (I may be biased ) the uglier 5GT looks as sleek, if not a tad sleeker than the new 6GT. The new GT would definitely be more so a looker in a darker color and with some modifications. All I'm saying is that it shouldn't need modifications to look good. The GranCoupe didn't. Most people would never modify their cars like I have mine. As probably one of the very few who've taken one of BMW's most disliked models and turned it into a show car, I can point out more flaws in the GT than one would notice at first. However, I could also point out the few things BMW did right with the car. And that's why I say, BMW didn't focus on making it better, just less worse.

It's a fact that black hides visual weight while white accentuates it. P.S. I don't understand the turtle picture :

Along with several other products from Honda right now. Honda Civic hatch Accord sport cross Ridgeline truck EDIT: it appears that Honda dropped the ugly wagon Sport Acccord Sport Cross and moved it to the Civic lineup.. so.. they have the same issues finding a spot fot their ugly duckling as well.

Here's another angle then.
Again, some aspects are better over the current F07 (e.g. the rear end), but still not a significant improvement.
