I've owned the past 2 generations of X5's, and I find the front of the new X5 atrocious. It is a hodge podge of competing elements, and I don't like it at all. The side/fender lines are ugly too. The seats look downscale. I don't like BMW's non-moving, pod style navigation screen either. I'll reserve my final comment on the new X5 until I see the vehicle in person, but my initial impression is not good.
