Maybe, but look who's talking? Aren't you doing exactly the same? Yes, you do.

You quoted MT where they were praising Infiniti's driving dynamics and that's what i was referring to; i don't believe them that Infiniti drives, brakes and corners better than X6 and i still don't.

I've read it several times fyi and made my judgment.

"They've missed the target with the X6," he continues. "It's ungainly and awkward to drive." Despite being a whopping 694-pounds heavier, the X6 is dynamically superior to the Infiniti by significant margins, a disparity due in no small part to the tires. Our X6 came equipped with optional 20-inch, super-wide summer tires, while the FX showed up with stock 18-inch 265 all-seasons.

The FX35 has many of the X6's strengths, none of its weaknesses, and a few great advantages of its own-for a lot less money."

...and does so much damage to BMW's reputation for building fine driving automobiles, it's almost obscene.


What a load of BS, BS! And what should i think of it? One test out of at least 10 i've read so far says that it drives awkward and that X6 is doing damage to BMWs reputation (), while all others praise this car and i should think only about what MT said about it? Give me a break please!

I did not say Infiniti is a bad car, not at all, but i just don't happen to agree with them. I'd like you to read TG article and then voice your opinion for example. We might not value TG's opinion about design of car 'cause they're crazy and funny when it comes to that, but when they praise other things that are far more important than design, i happen to believe them, no matter what car they've been talking about.

That's why i've said your aversion towards certain BMW cars, i know you like some of them, very few in fact.

But here, you stucked with one single article that doesn't like X6 (MT that is) and one silly test from AZ. Sure, kudos to ML for winning this one, but it should be X5 vs. ML vs. RR vs. regular Cayenne, S maybe, not GTS.
