Is there a 'non-of-them' button?

Of the 3, as I've said before, the more saloon like profile of the i5 takes it for me, but 'none of the above' is probably the most appealing option.

None of the above for me. These cars just don't do it for me.

Agree. But the Audi deserves a special mention;
Has got to be in the very top of ugliest cars to ever come from Germany as a whole. What an utterly hideous car. Still can't believe it's actually real.

Excellent photo comparison btw, @Gor134

Came to say the same. Audi is producing some of the ugliest cars on sale now. That front end looks absurdly ugly. The proportions and the side profile remind me of a 6er GT. And the interior is just as terrible as the exterior.

I've been an avid.. AVID.. hater of the G60.. but amongst these bunch I have to admit it looks the best. BUT THE BAR IS VERY LOW and it is a downgrade from the G30 nonetheless!

The horrendous proportions of the A6 e-Tron (just as bad as the ID7 imo), there's so many details too that could've at least made it look nice that instead make it look worse. The most obvious being the general greenhouse design.. the window kink is so rounded instead of being confident and sharp like older Audi sportback windows. Ugly front end too of course.

I do think the interior in the grand scheme of things is acceptable though, bar the piano black center console.

Just now seeing this. How do you pic here? Yikes. They all could look ok if…..

[Design FIRST]

As far as BEV sedans are concerned and save the VAG J1 cars Taycan/etron GT, German manufacturer design teams couldn't have presented more unattractive cars. The Audi is especially disappointing as the brand was once acclaimed for its designs. The A6 etron is a huge letdown. As far as the EQE sedan goes: M-Bs saving grace is that it realizes that the EQ sedans are visually alienating and will be replacing them with cars that promise to be far more visually appealing. IMHO, the G60 5er is the "least bad" of a trio of generally not very good looking cars.

None of them. Seriously, all three design departments need to take a cold shower, wake up and face reality.

Hear, hear!

BMW did wake up judging by what's coming up next year. Thing is, the 5er was long done before they woke up.

NK is back to serious form, design wise. And with that out of the way, they can focus on proper ICE cars again instead of making them an afterthought.....

I'm perceiving that exterior design of the A6 etron as being "stale" (and hence boring) rather than outright "ugly".

Considering that the other two are dedicated, ground-up EVs, I reckon the BMW G60 - of which I'm not a fan - has done rather well in the looks stakes given its dual purpose. The Audi and Merc don't even have an excuse.
