I think my other big issue with the new design is that the front is rather bulky... lots of stuff going on taking up a lot of the face... not much 'body color' with all the intakes and huge grille and headlights. I dont mind it personally... I like it a lot on the X3.
But it just doesn't go with the rear, thats almost all body with a couple little slits for lights and a license plate which is on the bumper and not on the hatch.... its just wayyy clean. I'm not mad. I know it looks a bit like the Benz but its already grown on me.
What I cannot reconcile is how its the same vehicle. The design languages are fine on their own I just dont see em' together.
IT kinda reminds me of what Acura did on the new TLX and MDX. They slapped the new corporate face on the front and did barely anything on the rear and it just doesn't work together, despite it them both being fine on their own.
