530D GT at Franz Josef Airport in Munich

[RTC]

Saw it at FJ Strauss Airport and on a public street in Munich and I didn't like it too much. My wife even asked what kind of car this "ugly thing" is and when I wanted to take a closer look at it at Munich airport, my son, a huge car nut, refused to come with me because he said this is ugly. He is 6 years old.
That said, I really don't know who would buy the GT. The new 5 series is a beauty and public reaction over here in Germany is very positive, the X5/X6 also seem to sell well. Not much room left for the GT I'm afraid.

It is definetely an interesting concept but I wonder who actually asked for it ?! I have no clue.

Most Americans don't like hatch backs.

So why do they keep buying the X6 ?

Just kidding...

Honestly, I don't have anything against hatchbacks (obviously...I'm German ) but the GT doesn't really fit anywhere in my car world.

A friend just got back from 3 weeks in Germany and he had a 535GT as a rental car. At the rental car counter they tried to hand him the keys to an Alfa Spyder! Family of four with 3 weeks worth of luggage! They said that is what he reserved, but as compensation they said take your pick from the premium row. He drives an X6 5.0 here in the States, and says the GT drives very differently. It's easy to drive with lighter steering and handling. The X6 drives like a mans car, no offense to you ladies out there.
