Yeaaa,,,, mmmmm,,,,, sorry F15 has lost me...

It just doesn't have the presence of the E70, when I first set eyes upon the E70 it was WoW, it just looked balanced and right on all fronts, the F15 doesn't have that impact on me.

The front end works "Ok" for the most part however the sides and rear seem stiff and clumsy, from a distance you could almost mistaken it for a Q7.

I hope it grows on me, there's enough time for that to happen but it looks as though I might sit this one out..

Hope I'm wrong and that it's completely different in the flesh..

OK, I'm sorry but I have to respectfully disagree. I realize this is in the eye of the beholder but I really don't see any resemblance, not even remote to the Q7. Then again, we're all entitled to our opinion...

That CGI makes it look a lot like an E53, aside from the obvious new design features that is.

The hood opening on F15 is similar to E53....so the actual hood is bigger than E70.
There is some E53 DNA in F15.

Yes, but the height is more on one than the other.
