I agree, that is not a good design. Well I guess the Mercedes Minivan looks better now?

That's funny...like BMW isn't going to take this oppurtunity to make more money of the X series?

I agree the upcoming X is poo, if those shots are anything like reality. The new front end does not lend itself well to a SUV/SAV...to slim. The 4.4 was a great mid-line engine for those who didn't want to spring the extra cash for a 4.8 but wanted a higher horsepower motor then the 3.0 I6. I find it kind of hard to see why you would keep the 3.0 in the line-up when you could just drop it in favor of the 4.4 (for a bigger X5 I would think owners would want the added power and torque...but then again, I don't work for BMW)

Here is a shot from automobile magazine...looks a little better...

My wife will like that non-minivan thing. I hate that X. If I stay within this class on my next ride, odds are it won't be another BMW. Too bad--I was hoping to make use of that $1k BMWCCA thing.

Ha ha ha.... New X5 looks like joke. I am glad that I got 05 4.4i. I think people will like current model more than new one. I hope that is not real one. On the other hand, V5 looks sweet. I am sure poeple will do crazy things(big fat tire, lower or raise car, etc... )on V5 when it's released.

I hope this is still the pic. The spy shot looks the same as pic from last years Wheels issue.

Yuck Yuck Yuck Yuck. I still have not gotten use to the 745i, 545i looks yet and it's been 5 years. Now they are trying to make the new X's look like that. Yuck Yuck Yuck Yuck. I guess I will keep my X longer that I had intended and BMW will make less money off me

I wish VW would bring back the Touareg V10 TDI, or start selling us a Touareg with the W12... Now THAT would move! I'd buy one.
