F11 > f10

The F11 is really a good looking Wagon, and this coming from a Wagon hater. I remember admiring one in Paris last year. I'll be back in the EU in a few months, so I can look again.

Too bad they ditched it for the abomination of Design that is the 5 GT.

My a$$..F10 anyday over F11.

I'd take an F10 over an F11. I would also take an A6 Avant over F11. Not a knock on beemer wagons,but they just don't quite work for me.

What? That ugly car won a design award, twice?

All of them must be crazy

 

[K-A]

I'd never buy a Wagon over a Sedan, but I think the F11 is more impressive, considering that IMO it takes much more to make a Wagon look good than it does a Sedan.

However, of course I like the Sedan version more, in terms of which one I'd pick or find a better design by nature (Sedans>Wagons).

Its a stunning wagon..probably the first ever for BMW..
Well deserved!

 

[Human]

If it's a "Fiver" it deserves every trophy out there - BMW did wonders with car and frankly the more i see them on the roads (new F10) the more I want one - the low sporty, powerful stance and aggression in that 'face' is just cool!

 

[klier]

I've seen the new A6 Avant a couple of times on the road too now. It's very nice as well, though I do like the 5er Touring more this time around (last time the 5er Touring wasn't so pretty). The A6 is kind of boring and just too much like the previous gen....

 

[Deckhook]

At the moment without actually seeing the F11 in the flesh I much prefer the A6 Avant and this option has been true through all generations of each, maybe this time round thing will change but based on pass history I doubt it.



P.S.
And before Klier makes the comment..... of course I am bias.

F11 is popular in Sweden and A6 Avant seem to be growing in sales here. The front is the best part with the car and might be best in class but unfortuanly the rest of the car do not flow as well as F11. But I prefer A6 Avant to E-class T.

The W211 Wagon was a beauty. The AMG version in particular....
