Very unfortunate, the F800 is a bigger mess and carrier of random lines and overdesigning than even the W212 and current models are alluding to.
Also unfortunate that a company like M-B who were always innovative, or proud of their classic ideals, whilst never jumping on the "me-too" styling bandwagon, are now copying brands like Hyundai.
All I know is Gordon Wagener has to go, or else M-B will be a very different brand in the coming future. He's trying to be Daimlers Chris Bangle!

Actually I believe BMW's ex designer either designed it, or had a hand in it (Karim Habib), makes sense, as it looks like an evolution of Bangle-era more-so than anything M-B history. It even sports the "dame-edna" spectacle headlights off of the E60, which were hideous and immediately a dated look on that car in itself!
