Sincerely hope this doesn't replace the 3 series touring in the US, like the 5GT did. Hope you're right

BURN IT WITH FIRE!
If they send those to the US with an N55 I will be SO pissed. They won't send over a proper touring 3er with the N55, but they will this monstrosity? LETS RIOT!

My God, that is just HORRIBLE. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
It makes the GT 5 series look like a work of art. I don't think there is a better example of a car designed by committee. Did some little guy in the back of the conference room stand up and say "You know, that cars needs a little v-notch vent behind the front wheel." Then another guy stood up and said "Sure, we'll give you your v notch, but we're taking away the Hofmeister kink!" |

The only nice thing is the front. The proportions are bad. The back of this looks like the honda cross-ver thing. This is a terrible idea. I wish they would stop making these micro-segment cars. Nobody needs this.
Also, what is up with that "design element" under the side marker? WTF?!!

I have to see this in person before I give an opinion, I wasn't a big fan of the 5GT when I saw it pics at first, but I do see them a lot where I live and I actually like it. The interior of the 5GT is gorgeous and BMW did a great job of achieving their goal of giving us a GT (GrandTouring) car with a very luxurious and spacious interior.
As for the side vent, I think they can do away with them. I don't see a purpose for it and it's a bit distracting on the car. I hope there is time to remove it from the 4 series if its too late on the GT cars...

I'm not sure why everyone thinks it is weird or funny that the camera vehicle is a Mercedes. The filming is being done by a production company which owns the Mercedes ML. It is a purpose built camera vehicle that is used to shoot driving scenes for TV shows, movies, and commercials for any auto manufacturer.

I think this will go over well in Europe where the buyer wants to pack the most car into the smallest possible parking spot. I won't bet on it for the US.

I agree. I'm not a fan of A5 Sportback but this 3GT makes the Audi look a lot better!
