I think it will be a hit.....................just like any other premium SUV really. Despite the high gas prices the appetite for SUV hasn't been satisfied and I know that there are divorced soccer moms who will be quick to sign up for an 09 X6 the first time they'll see one.

Will it change people's view on large SUVs? Unlikely since there is already a very sporty SUV out there called the Cayenne. On the other hand the coupish roof will make it appeal to many who want the coolest and latest like all the Mercedes CLS owners.
