All jokes aside, I truely think that the new 5-series is a hideous looking car.

 

I dont like any of the newer BMW's out now (Bangle designed )

Sure they may be fast comfy and reliable, but look butt ugly. Like a woman, attraction, or its "looks" in this case is what draws me to a car.

 

Don't hate the players, hate the game!



In this case, I hate Chris Bangle!

I guess I don't care for driving really fast in really big cars. I like going fast in smaller cars. They feel more nimble.

Julius, how much is that m-5? 80-90K?

Moses, good luck with the Maserati. I don't get those at all. I saw the whole line-up at the NY auto show and I just kept asking myself "who is the target market for these things?" The price is high, but the visual impact is not. At least not to me.

Hey fellas, what about the Lexus IS 350???

 

they do look alike....ugly design

Bill if you look for a cool looking car and still have some power for under $40k..take a look at the TL..not a bad looking car, plus its a Honda.

 

that's around the ballpark price
