I had the opportunity to see the new 7 series at a local BMW dealership this weekend and I've never seen anything UGLIER in my life. I think the car is designed by Stevie Wonder for the likes of Helen Keller!!!!! The interior was disappointing as well, the leather felt cheap, the wood was plasticky and what the hell are the temp and air con knobs doing in such a "state of the art" dream machine????? I think BMW should provide free BLIND FOLDS to everyone who's getting a 7 series in order to avoid any heartattacks the new owner might have. I didn't know that the chief designer at Saturn was responsible for designing the new 7 as it looks just like some piece of crap that would come out of Detroit! You couldn't pay me enough to buy one, and thats coming from a loyal BMW enthusiast. Very disappointing!!!!!
