They like a visually balanced look. Classic RWD cars look stubby in the front and overweight in the back.

I think they just prefer the look of FWD cars, since the association of RWD = luxury doesn't exist in China. Hence why they still consider Buick a prestige brand and why the VW Phaeton is still sold there.

no surprise that everyone is chasing chinese money now... the u.s. is definitely a less influential market than in the past.

It's not even close lol. The BMW is bucktooth joke compared to the G90, which has true RWD proportions- short nose and long butt like the Rolls.
In fact the G90's whole greenhouse looks more like the Rolls than BMW's.

The rest of the design humiliates every other flagship sedan in this segment, and it's not even close lol.

I wouldn't go that far, but in the case of the 7 Series there's clearly more demand in China than the U.S. Long wheelbase chauffeuring sedans are all the rage with wealthy Chinese individuals, whereas most people in the U.S. would rather buy an SUV they drive themselves.

It also has a pretty long front overhang, but that's kind of the norm with all modern Lexus vehicles. At least there's no overbite...

I like the LS500 design, but it's far busier from most angles than the other flagships. It's easily the most ostentatious flagship out right now.
