I voted for the X6-M because I own the 50i version of it, and I honestly do think it is the strongest in the looks department, and I am sure it will be a great performer.
The second choice would be the ML 63AMG because I love the looks of it, besides I am a secret MB admirer.
The third choice will be the X5-M.
The Porsche will be the next and the Audi the last.

A lot of people love the new X6, I thought X5 has always been and remained superior, guess not.

I'll take the one that is trying to do something against it's nature. It is about 3 tons and trying to act as a sportscar. You have to love it for trying! X6M.

The words "Sport perfomance" and "SUV" don't fit in the same sentence imo.

On the other hand if i had to choose one of those i would take the X6.
