From gas guzzling 4WDs to SUVs to smaller SUVs and now they call it Cross segment and the what not. I'm sure it's a matter of time before the rest follow suit to remain competitive. Perhaps the Germans are preparing us to accept vehicles that runs on gas, electric or biodiesel which generally are smaller and more compact.

BMW designs have become quite sad of late, Merc is getting better and better, and btw, this is way too close to the X3, which itself was redundant due to being too near the X5... they might actually need to axe the X3 if they want sales of these 2 other models to be real good. But you know what, people will still buy it cos of the badge ;p Man the front is really ugly… the rear is aggressive, nice… but man, i agree with claxxion… BMW designs have become quite sad of late, Merc is getting better and better, and btw, this is way too close to the X3, which itself was redundant due to being too near the X5… they might actually need to axe the X3 if they want sales of these 2 other models to be real good.

Oh well it's pretty.. in a BMW typical way... Actually they should've a 2 door short wheel base.. that'll be what the X1 really is.. for the 1 series. Now they're just filling the gaps between 1 to 9... and go off till the next summer. Designing in BMW is quite easy life isn’t it… almost everything is typical.

And like some of you commented earlier, it seriously look pig faced. Some people commented that the facelift Myvi has a pig nose but this one takes the cake. I think I'll be back to liking Mercedes design again. Upon hindsight, maybe the Bangle design isn’t so bad afterall. And like some of you commented earlier, it seriously look pig faced.
