Replying to: kdshapiro (Aug 14, 2004 12:44 pm) Now tell me that you think an Avalon (post #353)looks like a 3 series more than the new 645's rear light treatment looks like the Dodge Stratus (or Chrysler Cirrus as above)? BTW, I too own a BMW ;o).

Replying to: kdshapiro (Aug 14, 2004 4:28 pm) BTW, another point along the purpose of this board is that the front of the new 5's and 6's resemble Pontiacs, unfortunately. This statement also has more credence than your post (#353) about an Avalon's back lights resembling (therefore copying) the 3 series. Ridiculous, as it was to assume every critic of a BMW is a BMW hater.

Replying to: cheezhed (Aug 14, 2004 7:07 pm) As far as Pontiac resembling BMW, it's Pontiac that has altered the front of it's grill not BMW. BMW has essentially had the same front-end, albiet with different thematics over the last 14 or so years. I never assumed all critics are haters, but I think the critics look for this stuff. In my eyes there is no mistaking a BMW for a Pontiac or a Chrysler. Others my see it differently. Unfortunately as good as some photographs are the medium sometimes distorts. |

then again, noone can deny the fact that a lot of brands are copying BMWs, its just their own way to somehow tweak up their sales. btw pontiacs are copying bmws front ends, not the other way round. does chrysler have that weird boxy trunk also? i dont think so carnaught: looks and beauty are relative, different comments in different minds out there, like cheez said "beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i own a 330i myself and i dont like the new 5er and the future 3er myself

| I saw a new BMW and it was ugly. | |
| I like the design of the new Bimmers. I think that with tweaking each year or so, they'll grow on us even more. The jury's still out, in my mind, on the interiors. | |

The interior on the 760/745 are gorgeous. I think they have an overall nice feel to them, and what you would expect in a luxury automobile of that caliber. I also like the interior of the new 5 series. After flipping back and forth between an E39 and E60, I decided I liked the E60 better. Cupholders are weird though. Although it's sort of cool not to bump them with my elbow when I'm driving. All in all while some people come flat out and say their ugly, in my eyes BMW did a wonderful job with them. Their distinctive and handsome. What I think the issue with the 5-series is the the way the 5-series prices get up into the stratosphere without trying very hard. |

I think the Z4 has awesome styling. Perhaps is is just a bit too aggressive for some of the buyers. I have heard that roadsters are often bought for women drivers. I think the aggressiveness of the design might be putting some of them off. Of course pricing too does not help the Z4.
