I agree in many respects. The front-end is not distinctive enough and too much like the X5, it seems too long, and they haven't taken enough weight out of it, although there is little option to have done so considering that most of the weight is in the chassis/drivetrain/engine (which is identical to the X5).

I would like to see it and drive it before deciding. I'd rather not go out on a limb and hope that there is a momentum of interest that builds up after more information comes out.
