I think the new 7 Series looks good.

Visually, it even looks like it’s shed its weight. It seems tighter and more taut than the previous generation.

Even with the larger kidneys, I think it still looks good.

Mmmmmmm, mood lighting, although to be fair, Mercedes got there first.

Even an M-Sport model!

Update: Videos!

The hell is going on with this design bit here?

I think it is okay. I love the lighting, maybe even more than the S’s.

I like it too, but I still like the S-Class more.

Well, they certainly set the bar low enough to beat its predecessors.

I like the standard version. the M-sport is silly and not in a fun way.

Well, you’ve also got that gesture command thing so I guess that’s new? :’D

The more I see, the better I like it.

That rocker panel accent think is even palatable in aluminum on the dark car. Looks a little tacky in black on the white car, though.

Actually looking forward to seeing this in person.

It’s an improvement over the current 7 but I still don’t think it’s nicer than anything else in this class.

S-Class:

Audi A8:

Jaguar XJ:

Lexus LS:

Kia K900:

At least the 7 has prestige.

The 7 is the badge snob special.

It looks like they rammed the outgoing 7-Series into the back of the current 3-series, then added crome. The result is ugly in a boring, non offensive way.

But seriously, this had some much potential to be a stunner, which it had to be considering the four cars it competes with (five once the CT6 comes out) are all handsome vehicles. The styling isn’t that bad, but it’s mostly dull with a dash of confusing and as such, I am very disappointed.

Interior lighting is nifty. iPads velcroed to the seat backs, not so much. Looks like an extension of the “just slap it on the dash” infotainment theme.

I don’t mind it, except for the idiotically huge kidneys.
