I think it's starting to look a little like the Lexus LS model. Looks like they tweaked the design since I last saw photos of it. That's too bad.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Especially the back.

It looks like the trunk is a bit more round and the exhaust pipes are shown instead of hidden underneath. Other than that, it doesn't look much different.
I drove a 750li and just thought it was a bit too long. The great handling and braking was there as usual for all Bimmers.

Sorry for the partial OT, but did you see what the hyperlink was shortened to in your post?

Very a propos, I believe.

yea it certainlly does look LS influenced altho I actually think the LS looks better. Very soft on the lines, when the current model looks a little more aggressive. I cant honestly say I like it, while I dont like the tailights the Led Celis tailights look neat lit up, but then again all bimmers with celis tailights do. I like the current 750 better styling wise. Interior looks like it will have some nice options styling looks eh same...so much for the new model
