Does everyone remember the controversial Chris Bangle Designed cars? The 7 and 5 series of that era have just about died at this point. The classic e39 and e46 though dates still look great when I see them. Change is good, but if you radically try to do something different fans wont like it. Also, think about the 911... the 996 headlights got horrible reviews as a departure from the class look, and guess what.. we all still hate them and while the 993 rises in value you can get a 996 for 10k. change and evolution is good if it is in fact good change and evolution.

Well that's true but you must not live in USA. We don't have that option

Just not in one of the extremely uptight states. If I had to run one, if get one of the tow hook mount plate holders. I also find that when I do get pulled over, the nicer I am, the nicer they are in return.

I'm pretty open minded but i'll never accept those grills. Totally out of balance with the front of the car.

That doesn't mean they're changing direction, which you seem to think is what I'm referring to, it's not. It means they haven't hit their goals. Whether they were/are realistic, or not, is another debate. This is off topic though and is not concerning the defense of the styling language.

Furthermore, using your definition, BMW has failed as a Car Company in the United States for a number of years now. In fact, using your terms, BMW has failed in every Country but China this year. |

This has nothing to do with the OP topic, which is regarding the design language of these newer looking cars.

Reread my second to last post and maybe you'll understand. I'm not going to debate this further.
