G Wagon is a good looking whip. Would feel like I were colonizing Africa driving it.

These are even worse in person. There is an older gentleman that drives one in our neighborhood and its headlights are horrendous. BMW has destroyed the style of the 7 sedan and SUV, while leaking into the 5 and 3 series as well.

The DBX 707 is pretty terrible BUT AM Racing Green is easily the sexiest colour of all time aside from standard black, white, silver.

Well, sure.

But the point is they aren’t hideous. I think the gray/green looking one is pretty sharp.

IMO, the Maybach is the "I can't afford a Rolls but still want something overly expensive" sedan. They are not all that great over the S variants.

But if you showed up in the Pullman, we have a different conversation.

Holy shite, talk about Jekyll & Hyde. The front is actually pretty good looking to me, but that back end is horrendous.

I'm starting to really like the Unimog.

BMW has royally fricked up what used to be a great aesthetic.

Like a pretty girl who went way too deep with plastic surgery.

Looks like it has a DeLorean kit on it.

Man those cybertrucks look so dated already.

It looks like something they tried to modernize that came off the movie set from Logan's Run.

I gotta agree with the G wagon. I know they’re solid vehicles but I just can’t do it.

Careful brother, I've had a hard time losing.

Now, I'm just enjoying every moment.

I am not a fan of the whole front end being black on newer cars. To me it just looks like crap...like a car missing its bumper cover or a base model with unpainted trim.

I got a carbon fiber hood and trunk lid for an Evo in the early 2000s and it looked so strange to me I had them painted. Guys where baffled that I had the carbon painted but to me it just looked cleaner.

The new BMW’s are hideous. They ruined the M5. They ruin every one they redesign.


Car designers will tell you they are designing for tomorrow not today. An excellent example of that is Chris Bangle, a name any true car guy knows. Bangle took over BMW design in the early 90's and reinvented the BMW design language which was nearly universally panned, especially among Bimmer lovers. Over the years, those designs have come to be loved. As a testament to that BMW beat out Mercedes to be the global leader in premium car sales during the Bangle era.

As an aside I don't think they ruined the looks of the M5, weight is another issue. My wife has a G90 M5 CP, and both of us like the look of the F90. However, color has a larger than usual impact on the look IMO.

A guy in my neighborhood has a solid colored one with different MB wheels. I feel like he’s one of the few who wants the luxury but doesn’t want to stand out with a slightly used Bentley or Rolls for the attention.

I’d go S 63 if it were me, but I’m the one driving a grandpa Joe Silverado not a $200k+ car.
