        Inside info and the 7-series facelift

        Through one of my trusted sources he confirms that the upcoming 7-series facelift will look very similar to this:

        At the end of the day you can't polish a turd. A face lift isn't going to solve the problem. A completely new, redesigned 7 Series (still a few years away) is the only remedy.

        Exactly, there is hardly a difference to see in the front, however, the back is so ugly now, can't believe that they do that to such a nice car. Might be, that I'll get used to the looks of the facelift, but right now I think that it is extremly ugly. And the front hasn't changed except a little bit at the lights... Pointless!

        Right now I'm not sure if I like what they did or what they are going to do with the 7

        I like the front end. It looks more elegant. But I really hope the rear doesnt end up like that. The current rear looks better.
