Meet the new BMW 5 series GT, Gran Turismo or Progressive Activity Sedan.

Hahahahaha. BMW has lost it, seriously. First dropping the CSL, making M X5 & M X6 and now this.

It really is a shame that the BMW brand can't consolidate on the success they've had with their challenger strategy and continue with sporty designs that drivers want, not what designers want.

Oh well, Audi's there to pick up the ball and run with it

Wow... I've defended most of BMWs new designs... but this one is Fugly and nothing short of God himself coming down and resculpting it is going to save it.

....and BMW Design Chief Chris Bangle further added "We drew heavily upon a large number of visual cues from Toyota's monumentally successful Prius to produce what we feel is the future of the sports sedan" He then went on to say "The world market has shown us through its healthy demand for our recently launched X6 model that it still wants a gas guzzling, hatchback, activity-oriented vehicle" Sheer brilliance from a man whose career has been defined by such.
