I am not wealthy at all, but I perfectly can understand someone picking an X6 over an X5. Practicability is not always the first criteria of choice, even for me!
However the X6 will not threaten the X5 at all, it won't sell even half as good as the X5. It's not aimed to sell that much, either. The X5 will remain the power-seller.
When I first saw the CLS, I remeber saying to myself: My God, they just killed the E-Class! Honestly, I could not see ANYBODY still buying an E-Class over this wonderful car, bar taxis and large families.
It turns out that the E-Class still sells way more than the CLS.
So, I think the X5 should not be declared dead too soon...
