I still think the one-series is ugly and another attempt to hit the same market as the 318s did back in the 90s.

Corolla makes more HP at the wheels (120 HP) than that 1.6L does at the crank.

Seriously, who is going to buy a 90 HP BMW?

It's not just you. Look at what they did to the X5:

The front end just has TOO much going on :|

godammit! that X5 now looks like a cadillac Escalade. *puke* WTH are they thinking? and the 6 series looks like a copy of the Honda Accord Coupe :(.

3 series looks like an acura.

The 1 series looks exceptionally stupid. This is appropriate since the car is stupid anyway (in the US market).

Those pictures for the 6 are not great, but the other one I saw made the thing look uber sweet, like a sex goddess on wheels!

Course what do I know, I think the new 7 series looks freaking sweet ;)

The six looks great from behind, but the snout looks ooglay :( That saddens me because it could've been a very very tastefully done car, but once again, BMW's insistance on the uglification of all of their car's frontsides comes through.

Man those cars are ugly. I will have to reserve judgement on the 3 until I see a production model though.

Unfortunately, I'll probably be in the market to replace my 95 3 series by the time the new one comes out. Hopefully, it will not be Bangled too badly.

Actually, I find its the opposite. I hate how the back looks mismatched, its crap.
