Sorry folks, not seeing the love here.

Those renderings make it look just like that squashed Infiniti thing. Take that thing (FX 45, I think), add 80-100HP to it, and sell it for the 25-30k more than Infiniti? Doesn't seem like a weiner to me.

I am hoping this is like the new 5er was some time ago - looked like it had possibilities in renderings, but looked good on the road when it came out.

I am ready for something new, and different. Paddle shifters would be nice. My back injury a year ago still causes great pain in an old-fashioned manual shift six-speed, but I like being in control of the shifting.

I miss the old X5 (haul space and ride), but like the HP in the current CTS-V.

I'd sure like something in-between (with at least the same HP I have now - 425), but it needs more eye appeal than an Infiniti.

My business partner bought his new car a month ago, and I now have the green light to get mine. Problem is, I haven't found anything appealing. My budget for this purchase would put me in an M6, but that looks way too small to manage. Maybe I need to go look at one of those.

I am addicted now to HP, so whatever it is, it has to have guts under the hood.

What's a fella to do......
