I don't like SUVs in general and I definitely don't like one with out the advantages of one - I don't really see the point. But having said that, it will probably be a sales hit any way.

I'm yet to be convinced that the X6 has a clear product story that delineates itself from the X5.

The X5 is already an unabashed soft-roader with sport intentions. It runs directly in league with the Cayenne (unless we stop to consider the Cayenne's genuine off-road credentials), so I have to wonder what room that leaves for the X6. Yes, it's low lung and sporty, but then again, so is the X5.

I'm guessing that the X5 grill see see in those spy shots is just cosmetic dressing at this point.

I'm leaning towards a miss at this point, it looks at though it wall zilch in the way of cargo space so it had better really drive great. Still though it is kinda premature to ask this question.

I think I was expecting an R-class competitior like the rumours pointed to. Also I was thinking it would be bigger then the X5 or even a GL competitor.


This design wasn't what I thought. It's almost like a huge wagon. I think BMW wanted to be seen as doing something different like Benz did with the CLS.

It might work, depending how the actual look. Doesn't really look like it has a lot of room though.

I think in the US the X5 will still be more of a choice, but in Europe this should sell pretty good. I don't see Audi and Benz trying to do a competitor to this though unless it really pulls some numbers.

Re: BMW X6 - Hit or miss? - 07-23-2007, 09:28 PM

The ballots are tainted! We need a recount.

If this thing ends up looking like a sport ute that's been molded into a crossover MPV it's gonna be lame. There really shouldn't be any SUV pretensions to this thing, which is why I'm apprehensive about the spy shots we've seen. If, on the other hand, it looks like a big, bad-ass wagon, the results could be really interesting... my money is on the latter, but we'll have to wait and see what BMW's real angle is on this thing.

Personally, I find the Infinity FX to pull the shape off much better in this emerging class.
