I have seen it at the IAA in september, and it looks HUGE in person!
Yes, it is huge, but I think all the other BMW models will adopt this "family" look which is a big improvement over the Bangle-era designs!
Yep, starting with new 7 series which will be presented in june - july.

you mean the CS concept looks better than the camouflaged testing prototype of the Panamera..
No, he said that it looks better than the Panamera. That Panamera rear end will not look good no matter how much camo they remove from it
(It doesn't really have a rear end, it just ends....
)
Anyway, we were talking about the CS, the best looking concept I have seen in years.
Regarding engines, I will bet my right arm that it will have the new twin-turbo V8 that will debut in the X6. The twin-turbo sixes, both diesel and petrol, will most likely also be fitted. And by the time the CS hits the road BMW will probably have a hybrid drivetrain in production.
Either way it will be one hell of a car if BMW keeps the tradition of not really changing anything from concept to production (unlike the Jaguar S-Type f ex)

2012 sounds way too far..
Merc's CSL is already out..
Audi's A7, Porsche's Panamera and Aston's Rapid should be on the market by 2010..
i can't believe BMW will be out of this market segment for that long..
My source said new 8 series will be presented in 2010. Work on new 8 series already started.

I agree with you,temm,, the BM is so much more pleasing on the eye..
That wing looks horrible on the Panamera,,I hope that ends up being camo

that sounds more like it..
2010 is the same as the Panamera, Rapid & A7..
that means we will get 4 Saloon-Coupe in one year
