An X5 face with a sedan body (complete with sedan-like trunk opening) plopped on stilts, has failed to impress me. Definitely a paradigm shift for those used to the conception of an SUV or even a CUV as having a rugged looking fascia with a rear full opening hatch.
Btw, BMW Phils has run an ad for this one in the local newspaper already. They call it a coupe, which really baffled me.

It's a "coupe" because a "coupe" is classified by the streamlined shape of the vehicle's roof.
That's why the four-door CLS is sold by Mercedes as a "coupe" and why BMW's M3 racecar is now having problems qualifying for the class BMW built it for, because the sanctioning body classifies it as a two-door sedan (which, technically, it is) instead of a coupe like the 911s it was built to race against.
Strange, but true.

Initially, I was unsure about its looks too... until Kevin Limjoco sent us some pictures while they were testing it in the US... pictures in here:
