they don't want this to sell well. In 5-10 years when the world as a whole is ready ,they'll come out with a stunner that will have mass uptake.

I imagine it shouldn't look too far off from the reveal seeing as it was more pre-production than concept.

Agree, it does look very tasteful and modern, just wish they wouldn't have removed the HVAC controls and 8-presets, and they'd also quit it with the unintuitive gauge cluster design.

I will say, that blue cloth/suede is definitely giving me 80's vibes. Now I can't unsee it!

The flow and layout doesn't seem far fetched compared to other luxury vehicles so I think it's a bit weird to describe the interior as "horrendous". The steering wheel is a little weird, but I think it looks cool. As a BMW owner and like many others--I do like a little familiarity but something newer too. Would I buy the vehicle based off of this? Probably not, but am I open to it (and the design), yes. |

Here you can compare the depreciation (MS vs 5 series) https://caredge.com/compare/deprecia...ies-vs-model-s IMHO, the iX looks promising but it has to be great to succeed in this market. It will be interesting to see how the bold styling decision works out. |

sorry What I meant is that once a model s owner sits in a G05 or vice versa depending on what floats your boat the choice can be easy but please do.
In any case I am the typical future IX customer as I own 2 X5's and in a few years would buy an EV SUV ,,(only bmw yes I'm sad that way) and would look forward to a neat looking muscular vehicle like an x5 with leather interior and great build quality that I could buy outright and own for a few years. Vegan interior and wonky steering and non traditional lines don't appeal to me. The depreciation curves are an estimate and we all know BMW's depreciate but Don't we love them! |

Agree, I am no fan of the name either, but I have to say from a marketing perspective it will likely only work in their favor. Sadly dilution of a brand is very common these days.
