Spyshot: More new BMW models on the way

Dear 001,

About a year ago you guys reported that BMW was prepping a Mercedes R-Class challenger.

Check out this spyshot:

Word is it will be called the 'RFK' which stands for-Room function Concept

Rumor has it that the front of the new X5 will resemble this design...

this is only what i can say to this design.

Look like Toyota yaris,but what competing against R class.

Even the ugliest car of 2005 Ssang Yong Rodius look better than this.

BMW don't even think of it or have a secong look.

It seems to me that the first major player on the market to bring the integrated full center front grill plus air intakes was Audi. Like the design or not, it seems that everyone from BMW to Subaru are copying the trend.

In response to LJ, let me say that the R is not a train wreck or a minivan. it has lots of practicality and a wonderful ride. The only problem with the R-Class is the silly styling that Mercedes came up with at the rear quarter. I really hate that curve. That is probably why it is not selling well and requires huge factory to dealer incentives. I also hate Mercedes' 90-degree V-6 engines because V-6 engines in the 90-degree configuration are inherently out of balance.
