    I just don't see, how they're trying so hard. Hard on what?

    Trying to stay ahead of the competitions, thats what they're doing... I like it.

    Looks like they are tired of getting their ass handed to them by Porsche's Cyanne. This is the Uber Soccer Mom mobile.

    I...I just can't see what the hell it's good for...Is it a wagon with no cargo space or a jacked up, heavy ass 4 door sedan? Either way, it looks like a pissed off manatee. BMW ceased to be BMW with the E39 M5, original M Roadster/Coupe, and E46 M3. Everything since has been about seeing how much techno-gadgetry they can fit into the thing and still have room for passengers, not to mention being ugly as hell. I wish they'd get back to their roots, but that'll never happen.

    Modern people, esp the ones with the money to buy the new Bimmers, want to be completely isolated from the road and not have to think about anything going on with the car...BMW is just catering to their market...Sucks though that they left those of us that love their real cars, the old E30s, E21s, E36s, E28s, and E34s out to dry. Oh well.

    bleh...I'd take an Infiniti FX over that anyday. They're pretty much the only "crossover" vehicle that I think looks at all good.

    I know its probably 4x4 and all...but Id love to see it slammed, or at least lowered aggressively.

    I like it...looks just like the new one Volvo just came out with, along with the Mazda CX-7...BMW's just trying to be more competitive on their end I guess.
