It's not a wagon but can't guess what it is.. Looks great tho. Love the agressive new look.

I reckon that looks alright. With exception of that drop away to nothing front bar.
Nice clean looking lines otherwise.

The car kind of looks like a spread out V... Both the front end and the rear end has that V look to it. 4 individual buckets inside the cabin sounds good though

The Germans are certainly trying hard to blur the traditional sedan/coupe/SUV shapes that we know.

2 door coupe station wagons?!?!?
Coupe SUVs?!?!?
4 door luxury coupes?!?!?
4 door supercars (Panamera, 8 series etc)

I'm so confused!

Looks good, seems to be a good attempt to bring back the Shooting Brake style if the 1960's. I like it a lot.

Off topic I know, but did anyone read the review on the Pontiac G8 on that sight? they didn't seem fans of it all

Still looks like theres bugger all room in the back seats, even with the wagon styling.
