Shanghai Surprise

BMW haters need not look.

Ooohh, a banglified Aston Martin Rapide. Front end could do with some tidying (a bit more 8 series would be good), and then it would definitely look better than the CLS which is ugly. However, the Rapide remains the most beautiful 4-door.

"Banglified Aston Martin Rapide" is a nice summary Isaac.

They put the steering wheel on the wrong side
I thought BMW didn't know what they were doing!

Yes, it reminds me of an Aston, but it's ugli-ish...

BMW is in desperate need of a new designer (and so is VW, Peugeot and Mercedes!).

I thought as you did - CLS crossed with Aston crossed with 6 series (a Bangle car). Not a great fan of this concept much prefer the Mercedes CLS you speak of (wouldn't call it ugly myself though the front lights could be better), or the Aston concept.
