We ran the best we've found so far yesterday. Basically showroom ready.

I just don't see how people get excited about these cars. The dull styling looks like something from 5 years ago. Sure they handle nice and all the quality, styling and gimmickry leave me cold.

Just as on the Z4, the non-matching cutlines on the bottom of the doorsill look bad.

Are you guys (MPH) trying to kill the Buick = old man stereotype?

Hotness in the back of a Lucerne

Good job.

Dude, what do you think Hugh Heffner drives? It ain't a BMW. :AH-HA_wink:

[ToniCipriani]

Still not digging that rear end. I'd take the old one any day.

[Croc]

Ugh. BMW needs an overhaul of their styling depts.

[CSpec]

Better than the sedan, but still too boring with odd shapes for the sake of odd shapes. Plus, the back looks too long.

[Enzora]

Meh. The fatter appearance isn't flattering to the sedan, but it absolutely kills the coupe.

I hadn't even thought of adding that to the Buick pages. please feel free to share

the way the wheel wells are designed... it looks like the front wheel is bigger than the rear... which makes evrything look backwards... and whats with those seemingly random lines down the side... they look weird... and im gunna hafta agree with evryone else... the styling is so boring... and where the GTO had the power to back up the boring styling... these just dont... have you guys ever sene the torque numbers for the 3 series? they are disgustingly low... the top of the line m3 puts out less torque than my monte... bmw likes to hide behind awesome horsepower numbers which really dont matter if you dont have the torque to back it up... so i can definitely say im not a fan... the cars are boring looking and due to low torque... they cant be very exciting to drive... since torque is what you feel... oh well...

It's a bad Photoshop... we've seen actual pics of the rear already, and it's much nicer.

mph has some hot-ass girls.

It does look like a chop.

I still say BMWs are overrated. I will never own one.

That's funny cuz I can't wait to buy one. It's between a BMW 5 series or the Cadillac STS sometime in the near future once I get my restaurant off the ground.

Too bad the 3 series didn't resemble the 5 series, cuz the 5's are super hot!

I believe other spy pics of the rear had thinner, more elegant tail lights... Can't wait for the official release!

we ran a correction on the site about the touch ups. The photgrapher usually includes pictures before and after and if so we always run the cladded/real version. This time we were told these were the real deal. Our apologies.

I love the current 5-series and am usually a fan of BMW but this is HORRIBLE. unexciting, bland, chubby and Lozange-shaped and unoriginal.

[titan]

It's bland styling.

This girl needs to cut the 3-rice cakes a day diet. Did you see her dimensions?

"34C-23-23" Hips no wider than stomach does not do it for me.

my bad. typo that should be 33 not 23 on the hips. otherwise she'd be really disfigured.

I agree. It's very distracting...
