For those of you who were at HC07, they wouldn't allow us to take a factory tour because they were building the new X6 and didn't want to give anything away. Well, its out and you can see it. Just go here. http://www.leftlanenews.com/bmw-x6.html or google BMW x6
The NEW X6
- Thread starter Cool Z4
- Start date
I think it's very nice. I'll still take the new Porsche Cayenne GTS, though. 
X2 and SUV or pickup truck must be able to handle a number of 4 X 8 sheets of plywood...inTgr8r said:Doesn't do a thing for me...
:idunno: I just don't get this market segment at all.
If I need an SUV, I want something more truck like.
If I want sex on wheels..... I already have it.

He he..spot on! That's the segment of the market they target with these...sp3ctre said:
Have a look at the visibility through the rear window (or lack of)! As if I don't already fear the 'soccer mom' X5 driver already when reversing, this will take it to a whole new level! Make sure you NEVER park your Zed behind one of these
I think it looks pretty good.
My wife drives an SUV for work. She needs to carry a lot of materials (she's a sales rep) so she needs the extra cargo space but doesn't want the rough ride of a truck. SUV's are also a little more reliable and get better gas mileage then a truck (for the most part). She also needs the navigation system and loves the plush interior with heated seats, etc. while she's working out of her vehicle. She has a Nissan Murano and loves it!

OK... I've got a HUGE beef I need to get off my chest. It's been bothering me since the first time I read about the X6.
:soapbox: Ehem...
WHY THE HECK ARE THE PRESS CALLING IT A COUPE???? Chris Bangle calls it Coupe-like... Pierre Leclerc says the same. And they both refer to the SAV as a Sports Car. IT'S NO FLIPPIN' SPORTS CAR!!! It's just an SUV with truncated roofline, and looks aggressively sporty. It's still a truck. Sure... if they put in a V10 / V12 engine and the sucker will go <4.5secs from 0-60, it'll be a force to be reckoned with. But it's not more than what they make this vehicle out to be. I just get frustrated when they try to blur the definitions and try to make a vehicle something that it isn't. It isn't a Sports Car Coupé. :x
I still love the looks of this beast, though. Thanks for listening to my rant tonight, my family.
