I actually love it. The rear end is not nearly as offensive as the BMW 7-Series (I think BMW realized they went overboard on that one), and not quite as frumpy as the Z4's butt end either.

I just dont like it the look of it. Hopefully the 6 series will be more agressive.

it looks like a big 3 series.

I don't like the WRX taillights at all. I've gotta see the front end unmasked before I pass judgement.

Define standard. I imagine it will eventually be trickled down into all their cars as a standard method of operating all the major functions, but not yet. Maybe it's only found in the V-8 versions for now, who knows? Or maybe it's optional like COMAND is on Mercedes-Benz (even worse than i-Drive).

The 5-Series does sport i-Drive Version 2.0, which is supposed to be much easier to use.

The car I see in those taillights in Kia Rio... I don't know where you're gettin' Subura Impreza WRX. As for the overall look, I'm shocked to hear myself say that I kind of like it. It successfully achieves Bangle's "art" without any of the 7-Series' funk.
