New X5 in Car & Driver
 

My new C&D just came in the mail and it shows alot of the new '06 -'08 car models from all of the companies. There is an un-disguised, professional looking photo of the new X5...the same one we've seen on some posts here that looks like an X3 stretched a bit in all directions....skinny front end and all. I absolutely hate it and will be looking for a 2003 - 2005 X5 now to extend my enjoyment of the current body style longer. I'm really ashamed of the new feminine look of the X.

What are they thinking :dunno:

Agreed....I'm not looking to dump my current X any time soon but hopefully BMW will get rid of these fugly models.....

I saw that this weekend. I have to be honest, I do not dislike it. I actually think it looks pretty good. A HECK of a lot better than other mock-ups we've seen in the past.

To each his own, obviously, but... I like it! :thumbup:

the picture we have all seen is actually the new X3 2.0 litter (European model) with new bumpers (photoshoped a bit). As far as how the next x5 will look like, nobody knows... All the pictures that have been seen so far are all "artist interpretations" ...whatever that means :dunno: ... All we know, is that it will be longer and larger. Also one of the main BMW concern is to differentiate the X5 from the X3 even more, so I doubt that the new x5 would look like a big x3. :tsk:

Here are some other pictures which I imagine would be more like it. But then again who knows...

From this pics, I like the front end looks. It looks like a X5 but the tail end is a VW/ Porche look alike or even a X3. Don't like the back. just my .02

the back looks GAY!

You mean there is a criteria
for the back end of an vehicle that sets it apart as gay? What's up with that?

a gay back :rofl: That's a first... Anyway... it would make sense in order to make the trunk bigger.

hey take it easy QUICKSILVER, what's your problem ... would u rather have me rephrase my opinion.
