I think the taillights are what kills it for me. Weak for a car of this stature.

 

The car just look un-proportion with the headlight and tail lights.

 

The lines are just about the same as its the current 7er including the windows lines.

 

:werd:

i'll even take the bangle 7 series anyday over the new one. but then again, you're only suppose to buy the bmw's that they don't make anymore.

 

Wow, thanks for the link. HOLY FLAT CORNERING BATMAN!

It's gonna be a home run.

 

Yes, b/c people race their 7s and not try to put the biggest wheel they can fit on them.

The last 7 appealed to a much broader audience lets see how well this one does.

 

Not sure I get the first comment. Wouldn't be too sure on the second. Of course there are a lot of sales just waiting, every brand has people that have to have the next gen. But I know several current gen 7 owners and I think the new one is going to appeal to them.

Taillights? Compared to improving iDrive V2.0, taillights are a non event to me. If iDrive has been tamed, well, Lexus is going to have what is going to seem like a very long time to soldier on with the LS.

 

Thanks for the vid. I think they did a great job with it this time.

 

Hybrid version suppose to be out in 2009.

Remember that talk of "surfing the net on the nav screen"? Take a look!


Me likes... ALOT!!!

 

Whats up with the thing on the pass. fender and door. Other than that it's aight

 

Amazing people get excited over this but not the Genesis. They are VERY similar.

There is no way in hell anyone can call Lexus bland anymore with this thing around. IT even debuted in Beige. lol.

I like it but people trip me out

 

This car could have been gorgeous, I mean absolutely perfect, with different lower air dam and tail lamp designs. Pity.

 

Whoa! Is it just me or the perspective of this picture, but the dash REALLY slanted relative to the driver's seat?

 

Yes and that is good. That is how BMW interiors SHOULD be, drivers oriented. Not the fake, ugly livingroom looking interiors we have seen the last few years.

In the past, BMW dashes were very turned towards the driver as they were drivers cars.
