I'm glad you guys have as much distaste for this thing as I do! It is really, genuinely ugly. . .

There are like 12 cars that fit the same roll as everyone here said, and meanwhile there is no M3, M4 GC, OR M5 hatch/wagon offering which actually fulfills a roll that isn't currently supersaturated with other vehicles.

Wow I feel for Jason with a few of these releases. I'm a BMW fanboy through and through but man the 6GT needs help.

I'd at least like to be able to cobble together a decent product offering looking across manufacturers. Forget the manual since it would be a pipe dream, but the E63 and Panamera for example have the bigger high performance wagon covered. Would be great if BMW came out with an M3 - hell even a 340 for the U.S. That's just one example of a very glaring need in the U.S.

I think for these niche cars manufacturers need to be very strategic when picking holes in the market.

Bmw should just look at your GT, replicate it- badge it whatever they want and call it a day.

At least that way it would look good.

Yeah it's kinda sad. And the fact that they show the car in white all the time doesn't help - black would camouflage some of the odd angles better

So, question. After they were designing this, do you think they all stepped back congratulated each other saying "good job guys, we really nailed it". I find this hard to imagine.

From now on if anyone asks me what I drive and I say a 6GC I will have to be very quick to point out it is the OLD 6er and NOT the GT. Would hate for anyone to think I was stupid enough to buy this horrid machine.

Whos brilliant idea was to turn the 6series line into an ugly raised stationwagon that nobody will buy?
The sad thing is the board or other decision makers had to approve this asinine idea!
