Looks like it's just me then. boxedin

I'm struggling to think of a car on sale today that's more gopping and disproportioned.

For me it looks as if they've started with an SUV design and tweeked it in a [failed] attempt to make it look as 'car like' as possible, rather than make the SUV look like an SUV.

The rear shot reminds me of the Gen 1 X5, stupidly tall and thin (looks like it could fall over if you gave it a push!), rather than stocky and wide. The side profile has a low roof line, but the door panels are huge in height, which then flows along the side of the car dwarfing the wheels in huge arches. The front grille size and frame dimensions are ludicrously gopping.

Perhaps this is the future of SUV's, and it might grow on me. But right now it sits bottom of the pile. boxedin
