From the back it absolutely looks weird, from the side though it really doesn't...like I said in person the rear may actually be the worst angle.

Imho this angle makes it a bit plain Jane...and no sense that it is a q ship....it needs a bangle butt at the end of something to differentiate it...

yep looks like it’s selling well.

Just saw this SUV in person in my neighborhood. From the sides and rear I think it looks great. I didn't really see the front as I didn't want to walk on the owners driveway to go closer to his garage just to see the front.

not, not even close to tall enough. just a freakishly long hood with nothing under it to give it the baller look.

The hoods at least designed for a big V8 to be in there

I always thought it looked odd like the GX look until this morning when I was behind a previous gen. This thing looks odd too and very similar shape like the new one. I wasn't following 7 as much but did people think it looked odd/tall when it came out? Numbers wise 207″ L x 75″ W x 58″ H vs 212″ L x 77″ W x 61″ H. So it seems like it's just sized up all directions.

You think the previous gen 7 Series looks odd? Can't agree there, they're gorgeous IMO, long and low looking. I have never heard anybody say they think the G12 7 series looks tall or odd.
