What the 2014 Malibu tells us about the future of styling

BMW X5 (2010 / 2011) – UK prices, details +video

We knew the official information was due to come out today, but the first set of images had turned up – together with a fair bit of detail of the 2010 facelift for the X5 – so we thought you’d be interested in seeing what BMW had done to the X5.
