For the love of humanity.....will BMW please design something out of the box. This wagon says BORING loud and clear. Put a skirt on it or a whole new front end or something. This looks outdated already!

Yeah, i have to say this new generation 5 series is totally unexciting. I hope the m5 will change that.

In side profile it looks odd with it's 1/2 mile of rear overhang. Audi owns this segment. Even as a new model it can't match the presence and beauty of even a 6 year old A6 Avant.

"Even as a new model it can't match the presence and beauty of even a 6 year old A6 Avant." Well let's not get too dramatic. Old Audi's tend to start looking frumpy after 5 years.

Disagree. Depends entirely on previous model year design, as it does with all manufactures. But let's make it a 5 year old A6 Avant then. I rest my case.

This is quite bland. Bangle had controversial designs but at least they were different. Audi still rules in the wagon department (I agree with CReeds).

mmmhhh I don' know....The CTS wagon has lot to offer inside and out and for it to be Caddy's first CTS wagon, it wasn't a bad design at all.

This is so dissapointing. BMW are lost without Bangle. This is really really bland. It kind of reminds me of the E39 estate. And I agree with CReeds the A6 Avant or the E60 Estate are the best looking estates out there.

a6 avant or sedan is so much better than 5 series in looks department at least.. and by the way even the 5 series touring designed by bangle was ugly as well soo...actually this is an improvement.

This understated design is just very nice for me, remind me of the great E38. Although for the first time I saw it here and I didn't like it, after a few months I just got thought that it is a new design to tell everybody that elegance never dies. Even it looks sportier than any BMW saloon including 3 series. On the other hand A6 is fantastic and great looking car, but it never impress me as it just "nice", only the A5 (both, coupe & sportback) really makes me wondering to trade in my E60.

Something about the profile reminds me of the Jag X-Type Estate.
