It's a reasonable statement though. Any time I've seen the car posted anywhere on the internet where people have a chance to comment the comments are 95% negative. It's not just on here. I think you are about one of the only people I know who thinks it isn't hideous.

So for the thousands that will buy the car, how will you explain them and/or their reasoning? I haven't seen the entire car to know whether or not it's "hideous"; that determination is pending.

The internet is a bubble. It's very easy to feel like you're in the majority when you truly aren't. Just ask Hillary Clinton's supporters.

It has nothing to do with following in a shadow Mr. Passive Aggressive. I acknowledge that he knows more than anybody on this forum about what BMW is doing behind the scenes, so I confer with him about certain things because of that.

Since you confer with him, in your special relationship, ask him when the 4 series will be revealed. BTW: labeling is not become of a LEO.

I call it as I see it; directly and succinctly. THAT is how we communicate.

Imminent usually mean within days but I guess this is BMW imminent meaning 3-6 months away?

Don't worry it has the right badge... if it works for Lexus it'll sadly work for BMW (although I would hope it doesn't so it would lead to a change in design language)

I'm not saying people won't buy it. Heck, I'll probably buy it as I haven't found any viable alternatives and everyone is coming out with these hideously large grilles, but as it is in the picture, I and the rest of the internet that has seen it 95% seems to think it's a bad design. Who wouldn't you think a sampling of people on the internet would be similar to a sampling of people not on the internet? Just because you are active on the net doesn't make you likely have a different opinion.

If you are active on car forums and other car places you are more likely to express that opinion as you have a place to do so, but it doesn't mean that because just because you are more active on the internet that you would have a different taste what a good looking car is.

Here's a sampling from a random FB page with comments on the most recent render.

I just don't consider social media/forums indicative of the population at large. Most people are not on forums and social media discussing trivialized topics. Feel free to disagree.

P.S. What is deemed to be "good looking" depends solely on the eyes viewing the subject.
