It looks very large and unelegant for its size. In a lot of those images, the front and rear overhangs conspire with that very tall and very blunt nose to make it look ungainly and like it has a swollen forehead.
An AMG version with a more aggresive front apron might fare a bit better, but as it stands now, to my eye the front looks massive, and the car looks under-wheeled as a consequence.
Interior is brilliant, I really like it. A lot more occascion going on in there than the previous gen.
I'll hold final judgment until I see it in the metal, I still suspect that the proportions, especially the front, will work better from a normal perspective.
Can someone chop a profile shot with some lowering and a bit bigger wheels?

The older one was a million times better from the front.. It had a sexy look!!
The front is unfortunately a bit too FAT... It just looks weird, doesn't quite suit it hmm... but the new tail lights are definitely hot and comparing this to the new 6series.. this one shits on it..
So, we're going to have to wait for the facelift to see the new redesigned headlights.. cuz I'm not a fan of those.. It'll eventually grow on me though!!!!
