[QUOTE=CINISI;23694408]Maybe you should be looking at the Q7's? Oh wait...

Blame 3rd row for the boxy rear. X7 gls q7 xc90 all went with a fairly horizontal back to give headroom to 3rd row. Both f15 and g05 tried to hit middle ground with a slight angle but it doesn't work from most angles. E70 has the nicest profile but you literally couldn't sit upright (in addition to squatting) in third row.

I have 3rd row in f15 now and it's pretty useless and a major pain to use so I didn't order 3rd row with g05. If I really miss it I will get x7 next. Else I will get cayenne S or x5M

@akhter
what I meant is that I think the X5 looks a hell of a lot better than that Q7

And the q8 looks better than x5 cos no third row. Q7 is just the ugliest of the bunch. Inside is nice though.

The M50d is visually similar to the forthcoming M50i.

And sadly we won't get this

Does the decrease in car size not bother you? I just had a baby and the car seat barely fits in the X5 (the front passenger seat needs to be moved forward quite a bit). I'm scared that the X3 is just too small.

The X3 is too small for us also and most people say the X5 look like a bigger X3 so I don't understand jjl's post.
I would probably opt for the SQ5 if we were considering crossovers over the M40i.

I think I have to stick to the X5. Hopefully they offer a factory black out / shadow line trim for the front grill which is the size of North America.

Unfortunately, the more I see the G05 rear end, the less I like it.
