It actually looks like what we already have standard on our U.S. market GL550.

I really hope it has the U.S spec 550 grille too!!!! Any pics of the front

The car does look extremely good. Best looking full size SUV 100%. Range Rover has nothing on it.

The Range Rover was 100% designed under BMW control, and there is NO WAY they will EVER make such a beautiful Range Rover again.
Or put differently: Range Rover golden Age is over. Tata owns them now,and not BMW. Big, big, big difference.
The car still looks decent, but it's old now, and the GL looks better.

But the facelift of the Range is absolutely fantastic. Maybe it will be as classy as the G-Class and they will not change to much in the future of this car. But you're right, BMW did the first step with creating a timeless beauty!! Nevertheless my heart beats for the Range. GL could never touch the elegance of the Range!

BMW not just made the first step, but all steps. The FL consists of a few small additions to a winning design created by BMW. Interior design and exterior design is basicly still the same imho. It used to be beautiful, but it's getting boring by now.
And like the D3 Audi A8 compared to the D4 A8, Range Rover WILL NOT be able to improve on this winning design, mark my words.

A new 2010 GL 500 with U.S grille makes me harder. LOL.
