The ugly front just got even uglier, but that's just my subjective opinion...

Not your opinion. It truly is more hideous.

Still working that Predator theme even harder than they already were...

 
Polarizing styling for sure. I'd have to see it in person to pass judgment.

Eh, I like the look about the same.

The thing is, that BMW looks 15 years old. Would it kill them to update the look over the years?

Yup, just throw some dreadlocks onto the Toy's roof, and they can be brothers!

I love the interiors. Just too many things wrong with the exterior IMO.

When I see the GS on the road, most of it looks like a cheap Toyota. The IS has always looked better but that new rear looks like Honda / Acura.

No, that is a major cancer of the industry... constantly updating the look every cycle.

On the other hand it's nice to know what year a car is besides the shape of the turn signal lens or width of a chrome strip. We need cars that are far enough away from safe that people are passionate about them, good or bad.

Really?

The inclusion of 4 headlights and a kidney grill makes them the same? Perhaps BMW just knows how to design a car. Toyota/Lexus have no clue what they're doing. Have you seen the new Prius?

"interesting" and "eye catching" are not synonymous with beauty or taste.
