I am another E53 (first gen) X5 owner who has not made any commentary on the newer generation X5, because I haven't seen one in person yet. I have seen the photos and read some of the stuff, but honestly haven't paid too much attention to it because I am not in the market for a new vehicle just yet. Most of the attention here will obviously be on older models, since there are more of them in operation. Some who post the negatives are surely being honest with an opinion. However, some are probably just jealous.

As already suggested, don't leave! If those of you who like the new model don't stay and say so, how will the rest of us get a balanced view?
