Can't tell if I like it or hate it.

Will have to determine in the flesh.

Make it stop. PLEASE.

First it was the parade of Bangle Acid Art Projects.

Now it is the truck-ification of what was left of the Ultimate Driving Machin brand.

Urg. It it too much to ask that BMW build a small, light, balanced, highly precise DRIVING MACHINE that makes you glad you spent the money on it. Is it too much to ask for a car that gives you a throll when you feel through the controls how it reacts medically precise to your inputs like BMW's used to?

Dammit! This pissed me off. I want my 1991 3-Series back!

I'm okay with the front, but the back is ugly.

Looks like the 5-Series GT and the X3's love child.

The nose actually looks alright but BMW should just call this what it is, a hatchback. It has no more clearance than their 3 wagon. Then again, they can get stupid people to pay an extra $5000 by putting the X in the name.

bmw just continues to dilute it's own image. too many products designed to meet too many non-existent demands. and they're ugly.

Since the US government is going to force the Big 3 to stop making SUV's the europens can step in and make a lot of money on them. Lets just hope they take the money and use it for better car engineering, because we all know there is no engineering in SUV's just install a lift kit and make it boxy I could design SUV's with a box of crayons.

Stud or dud? Doesn't matter. I don't care about this thing because I remember the good ole days when BMW used to make amazing CARS, not just VEHICLES.

What happened? Did some evil sorcerer cast a spell on them to make them believe that they are Toyota?

My BMW 2001 330Ci Convertible was not bolted together very well. Over 7 years and 126,600 miles I had...
6 months I needed a 4 wheel alignment, every 6 months!!!
5 Bent Wheels
4 Bent lower control Arms
3 Bushings that went Kaput
2 rear differential Seals went Kaput
1 A/C hose broke
1 Radiator Neck was leaking and cracked
1 Power Steering pump went Kaput
1 Water Pump went Kaput
1 Kidney Grill Popped out from the flimsy plastic bracket that died
The Passenger power seat module was replaced twice and still never worked right
The trunk mounted 6 disk CD changer was jammed when I went around a corner and never worked right after that and the dealer did not know how to fix it.

FINALLY the last straw was when The B fell off the Rondel and I had an MW instead a BMW!!

New Jersey they spend more money on our roads than anywhere else in the nation, yet the roads are still hooraying. LOTS of Pot Holes, Lot's of congestion, lot's of stop and jerk traffic, Lots of Trucks. = 5 Bent Rims...I only got 1 in my WRX, not too bad.

Breaking News: BMW continues to produce pointless and ugly SUVs!!

First the 5-series GT and now this????

What the hell is wrong with BMW. This thing will fail just like the X3 is failing compared to the Audi Q5.

BMW is following Mercedes' strategy of creating too many niche models that will only drive their costs through the roof, while stagnating sales (these cars will sell horribly since there will basically be zero buyers and they are ugly) and reducing profitability.

Look at MB with their sales stuck at 1.1 million vehicles for the last 5-7 years. MB's 2009 sales are tanking and they continues to post quarterly losses.

Great strategy to follow BMW!!

The 5-series GT will be a disaster, the X1 will be a disaster, and if the 3-series GT ever becomes a reality it too will be a disaster.

I can't wait to see BMW produce the X 2.5 and X5.5 to slot in between the X1 and X3 and X5 and X6 respectively.

It looks really good. It is perfect for the European market it fits well in the lineup of the 1 series.
