The problem with the G11/G12 is that it lacks that sparkle. Will it still be a great car? Probably but because Mercedes did what they did with the S-Class, I look at the 7-Series as a German Lexus ES. Solid but very pedestrian. With the FXX BMW's, other than the 6-Series, I feel BMW got blindsided with their design. I don't think anyone would be criticizing the looks that much if Mercedes wasn't so extreme with their new designs.
I didn't love the F30 but it was acceptable with the assumption that the C-Class was going to do something similar, just a modernizing of the W204. With the W205, the difference in quality and detail to the 3-Series is almost laughable. I feel the same way about the 7-Series.
