Is Pontiac marketing their new Grand Prix in Europe?

Or are these photos the upcoming E60 5 series BMW? Being a BMW aficionado nowadays must be very disappointing.

Thanks for the defining pics... I've always felt the same way about the look of the new "BMW 5-series / Pontiac Grand Prix"... it's really hard to differentiate!

Does give one cause to wonder whether Chris Bangle worked for GM's Pontiac division prior to spearheading the design team at BMW.....
The boys over at the BimmerBoard must be so proud!

That picture of the "black M5 or GTP" in summer testing would look good in that thread!!!!!!!!!

BTW, the pic above IS a Pontiac Grand Prix (in case it's not obvious...and that in itself is sad).

And one more PONTIAC concept which looks a lot like the M6 photo below.
Hmmmmm..........

Has Pontiac hired an all Japanese design team? Go out and copy whatever German designs are being developed then speed them to market ahead of the Germans.

I would love to personally thank Chris Bangle for reinforcing my decision to switch from BMW to MB with every new design BMW rolls out. The only surface that man should be flaming is the grill-facing-side of a Whopper.
