Looks like a Pontiac Vibe.

Very mediocre design to me.

The creases on the side(doors) look like those from the LF-C convertible concept.

50K minivans??? They do realize that the R-class aint sellin so hot.

Another Banglized bimmer I never care for the current X5, this one certainly won't turn me into a fan . . .

I think the Bangle styling works on this one. Not bad and I bet it will look better on the road than in pictures. It does look a little "Vibe-esque" in this shot - I think it is the similar kidney grilles and pointy eyes.

I've never been a fan of those creases in doors. It's the thing I like most about all the weird hatchback/suv/minivan designs we've seen lately. I'll have to see the other angles before I can officially say I hate it, though.
