I'm also with Jonboy on this. The interior design just doesn't do anything for me. I'm sure materials and fit and finish are good (for the price they better be) but it doesn't seem to have any real theme to it. It doesn't have the graceful lines of the Jag nor the penta-shaped theme of the CTS or the flow of a Lexus. It lacks the purposeful shape of the 2000 5 series (E39?) but lacks fun and artistic at the same time. Really, I am disapointed with the interior. The exterior is better as it's no longer offensive but it is rather forgettable. Again it doesn't have the really purposeful, no-BS look of the 2000 car yet doesn't pull off any other sort of theme either.
Not bad but I wouldn't lust for one the way I might have for the car two generations back.

Looks good from the back. Too much Mazda 3 stupid grin look on the front.
Interior is meh. Better than the last one but not as good as the one before that.
I like the 80s-ish more vertical kidney grill nose, but it could flow with the front end better.

I really like this. I think the front and back look great. I like how the hood creases which was somewhat exaggerate and or forgotten in the previous generation. As mentioned before, not as good as 2 generations ago but definitely and improvement from the last generation.
