Even though they are not great pics the front end does not look appealing at all. I really like the design of the current X5

The current X5 is an incredibly beautiful vehicle.

That's a nice Chevy Trailblazer.

I agree! The new one does not look that different except for the front and rear, the overall size looks about the same. I thought it was supposed to be bigger?

It's a completely new platform. NOT X5. It's really too bubbly.

Actually looks like an XC90 to me.

Either they're really, REALLY high up in elevation, or that satellite dish on the building is misaligned

It looks okay, but the wipers are ugly, IMO. I know it s wierd, but I hate poorly designed wipesr and placement, it just distracts from the driving experience, and view. I know I'm weird and crazy.

They would've at least hid it under the hood a little bit.

The rear looks a little like the Cayenne, so it's okay. But for now the current X5 is my favorite.

I think that is the long rumored LWD X5 aka the X7.

And sorry, I like my BMWs from Germany, not South Carolina.
