No BMW, this looks as if you can't design a handsome car any more. Bangle has gone but the untidy detailing remains. It looks quite nasty and I question whether it has a market anywhere.

"It looks quite nasty and I question whether it has a market anywhere." Looks are merely a matter of opinion. I think it looks great. As the cliche goes, it would be a boring world if we all thought the same! :-) Of course there is a market. Audi have proved that it exist with the A5. BMW want a piece of the action. Why leave the field exclusively to their rival? (Or is it that you are a closet Audi fan? *wink*)

Isn't this called a "hatchback?"

They need to stop with this ugly GT series...and yes, it's an ugly hatchback. I also prefer Audi's designs over BMW's for past several years, though I'm glad Chris Bangle is no longer at BMW.

I just don't like looking the rear end at 45 degree angle. All the other angles, it looks OK.

Not my cuppa, but adds choice to the range.
