The 7 is the onlhy car that carries Bangle's lines with any dignity or semblance of good looks. In fact, I have always kind of liked the 7's Banglization, from every angle except the interior (yuck). The 5-series and Z4 look particularly awkward with Bangle's bungle touches, though.
Having said that, the Durango, while not a pretty vehicle, is really a good vehicle. Extremely comfy for an SUV (you really can't tell its ride from a car), transports 7 (if the last two hide from the cops in the back - not that I would know how that works or anything), and can still do full towing duty. My GF's dad towed their 22' bowrider with no problems whatsoever, and that with the little bitty 4.7l. And, despite needing that ridiculous ATF+4 trans fluid, you don't have to have a proprietarily trained technician to service it (ahem - BMW...).
Now, if only you could get the Chrysler Aspen's body at Durango prices...
