actually it's rather timely to have a pass or fail thread since i was just talking about this with someone, but here is a major FAIL according to me: the whole concept of the 'SUV coupe'!
i think BMW is to blame for originally doing the X6, then mercedes eventually follows and now the trend is further infecting the product lines
assuming it's done well, a coupe looks nice and an SUV looks nice, each in their own respective way... but when you try to combine the two it just looks too tall and bloated to truly be a coupe (also 4 doors), and too low and slanted to be a rugged useful SUV... not to mention they suck to see out of rearward
The new 5 series has a freaking placard that says "5" right behind the rear windows. That's a huge miss for me and tacky as hell to the point it's like the cringe domestic truck 4X4 stickers.

That does look bad, especially because they also ruined that classic BMW 5 series rear window curve.

Amen. The damn plate just highlights it. I was in shock when I saw it in person how tacky the new 5 is, was really not expecting so much plastic and one dimensional styling

It reminds me of the "X3" Easter egg in my wife's car, but that's cooler because it's hidden.
On the pass or fail thread - BMW 2-series of the current generation?

Pass.
I used to not like the coupe SUVs. But I’ve warmed up to them now. And I find most of them more appealing than the SUVs they’re based on. Particularly the Genesis GV80 and Mercedes GLE. But I do prefer the BMW X3 to the X4.
And I still think the Tesla crossovers look hideous…..

That 5 looks so out of place. Plus, on the model # on the trunk lid the number 5 is larger the others in the designation. It's more subtle than the ones behind the rear windows, but still..
