I agree. I'm sure it's a beautiful vehicle, but it is butt-ugly.

Truley! Who in their right mind ever thought X's for headlights would add to the looks of this vehicle?

 

[wavinwayne]

I found pictures of it in black and I think it looks really good. Then again, I own a Glock, so...

Yep agree... have seen some really nicely designed Beamers over the yrs, but many I just couldn't look at daily.

Impressive.

Not really liking many EV designs personally. I can look over some of them, but some are just busted. Trying too hard to standout or is it the battery design dictating design?

 

[OVERKILL]

I mean, it looks better than the iX, so... lol.

Yeah, in cartoons Xs for eyes means it's dead!

 

[Trav]

I detect the Stevie Wonder/Ray Charles styling studio has been hard at work on this one work.

 

[JeffKeryk]

The real upgrade is the "Heart of Joy" component integration.
Gotta wonder about her weight with that battery... Regardless, I hafta believe the iX5 will do pretty well around here.

Not for that sized battery. It's what I'd expect for such a giant electron tub.
