Nah, still ridiculously ugly. All that black trim on the front with the white makes it look like the kidney grill is being swallowed by an expanding black pit.

Then the camera moves around to the side and you notice that the gigantic 22in wheels are still swallowed by the extra tall and weird body.

I agree with you. It doesn't look too bad when facing it but when behind, it does look weird. Exactly how I felt when I first saw the GX. But after a while, and even now, I think it looks good. Lol.

The suspension must take an absolute beating with those low profile tires.

From this angle I actually think it looks pretty good. It’s the front with all the black accents that makes it look bad to me. If you get the car in all black like the one I test drove it isn’t bad looking.

It's bad because you pay this much and have to justify for the purchase. But to many, the inside and other qualities are more important and deciding factors. So this may not be as bad.

It's hardly the only expensive car in that situation though. I still think these will sell at least as well as its predecessor. My grandmother will be taking delivery of her i7 this week. I'm looking forward to evaluating it next time I visit.

Oh it'll sell just fine. Bangle butt probably had a larger negative response and that sold exceptionally well for BMW. Lol. Same with the new 4-series and it's nostrils.
