So painfully wrong.
It's also meant to be the "entry level" car in their lineup, unlike the EQS duo which are meant to be the peak of Mercedes Benz EV's.

Sorry, not seeing the similarities at all. Both the EQS SUV and iX are low to the ground because they are EV's, but that's where the similarities end. Not even the slanted roofline is the same application.
Unlike the EQS, the iX and X5 are easily identifiable as SUV's, the only major difference proportionally is the slanted roofline which is a staple of Range Rovers, and now many other "trendy" crossovers like the GV80, Aviator, QX60 etc. But the overhang lengths, the long hood, and most importantly the less bulbous back half are those of your typical SUV.

Won't argue with that.

Name some more reputable design awards. 
The EQE SUV will probably look better due to not having the extended rear end a-la a minivan.
Guess you'll have to see it in person. I had the benefit of seeing the EQS SUV and the iX back to back and it's just my opinion. I do feel strongly that no one is going to look at an EQS SUV in person and wonder if it's a minivan a la R-Class. I will give you the point on the roofline as they kept that more straight for the 3rd row. The EQE SUV, which I also saw, does. Much like the EQE sedan, I think the EQE SUV looks better than its bigger brother.

I think everything I post is my opinion right? Stop telling me I can't express my opinion. You don't bother other people who post negative opinions, so don't bother me.
These Mercedes EQ threads are full of people hating on the styling of these cars but you only bother me.

Literally every other EV coming out from every other manufacturer is better looking than these vehicles. Yes thats clearly my opinion.

obviously a lot of strong opinions about its looks, and i get that none of the mb ev's are popular on ClubLexus.
how about we wait until the vehicle is actually unveiled on the 19th and not in camo?

Benz doesn't have that issue.

Genesis has at least ~300 dealers across the states - more than enough to sell.
There are only some 244 Lexus dealers across the states.
Now, it is down to whether consumers actually want to purchase a Genesis.

Mercedes only has around 383 dealers across the US; not that much more than Genesis.

There's a difference between a Hyundai dealership that's licensed to sell Genesis, and an actual Genesis dealership. Genesis has had problems with setting up its dealership network and manufacturing capacity that have been thoroughly documented for years now. We've had this song and dance in other threads, you can continue to deny the facts as you please. But if you truly believe that Genesis isn't selling every single vehicle they have at a time when they have to downgrade their advanced drivers assistance suite just to make enough cars, then you are living in another universe.
Either way, this thread is about the EQS SUV, not Genesis dealerships. Design-wise, it's a joke to even compare this thing to a Genesis lol.

So you learn how to not do that, then teach me. Fair?
thanks for clarifying, because that literally isn't what literally means.
- informal
used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.
