I'm sorry but I wish everybody would just take a step back before taking pictures of the new FX.  That first picture makes the front end look enormous.  It only highlights the huge maw.

I like it as it is...very wide, like a big mouth.  I think it actually looks very good in the above picture.

I found it strange at first, but it's growing on me by the day.  After seeing many concept car pictures, maybe I was convinced this was the new trend.

Look at this BMW, does it not look like a (cat)fish also?  It's the Concept CS.  I like it.

Look at this Maserati.  It's a sportscar but look at the similar themes:

Mercedes F700.  Again, big, wide grille, squeezed eyes for headlights:




This is the new Lexus RX concept, admitedly with a smaller grille.  I'm not sure this is the way to go...



Lastly, look at this Ferrari concept:



Note the squeezed headlights?


Now the FX50...



Frankly, it's beautiful!!!   Smiley

I'm not in love with any of those cars though... styling is sure to be toned down for production in every case.  I do like the overall look of the BMW CS though.
