I think it is reasonably cool but you would feel like an utter fudd driving around wakefield in it.
Aint that the truth.

Definitely one for when you're old & grey, with a big grey beardie style beard, I think.

Then I could probably get away with it.

It's funny - vehicles that would be perfectly fine in California suddenly look utterly cringing in the UK.

A '26 T-Bucket for example. Or a '49 Merc led sled. Or a yellow Beetle with Baja fenders.

Would someone also please remind Jeep/Hummer drivers of this principle?

I noticed from their web site that they also have Chris Bangle on the design team

BMW must've taken his pencils away. He's much safer with crayons.

That sort of looks like a rendering for a Triumph or Austin-Healey or Daimler Dart or something else that BMW cancelled when they shot Rover.

Did Bangle pen the new 5-series? I think that's a really handsome car. Certainly the best looking saloon I've seen since the CLS.

If that doesn't have a V12 in it then it's got to have an enormous windscreen washer bottle.
