Don't like the shape of the X6 , its too X5 ish with just a sloping back, I really thought that it will be different, more aggresive and a design leader...it does not seem that its headed in that direction. Anyway all this is loud talk...just have to wait and see the final product..

I really like the X6.
I wish the concept mirrors and pillarless door frames remained in the production version. This would make the make the car more individual and sexier.

But it would drive like crap without those pillars.

I like part of it. While the rear is unique and overall the stance looks aggresive, the front reminds me too much of the X5. The grills for example are identical. I would have loved to see this a bit different e.g. with E60 grills. The lights are nice, however you can see the Leclerq touch in them, again a small but distinct similarity to the X5.

What would be a major hit is if the B pillar absence makes it to production. Then it wil really stand out, however Klier's got a point that it will affect performance...well...a trade off I guess

Although it would certainly be nice, I don't think it will be such a big difference irl..The concept vehicle has its windows tinted black, so even if there would be a B pillar, due to low contrast it would make little difference. On the other hand, if the windows are tinted only lightly, you would see (the hidden) B pillar anyways. Yes , the continous glass impression is nicer, but this detail is just minor imo. Other factors (although also matter of personal taste) that can make or break the look of this (and any other car) are the wheel/color choice. You can easily create an X5 that would be boring (for me) as you can create X5 that is stunning.
So maybe an X5 with M-Package and style 128 wheels might look nicer than an X6 in standard version

But a fully equipped X6 will certainly leave the competion (incl X5) in the dust..

I think the continous glass impression without the B pillar makes a difference in looks. Given the higher stance and the aggresive rear, the one glass look adds a lot to the concept X6's ability to stand out. Secondly, it is unique, something I haven't seen in any concept (SUV/SAV or whatever you call it) before. If you put in the B pillar, and erase the back, the X6 will look ordinary from the side.

However on the flip side of this argument, looks are not made of individual parts, its really the whole which defines a vehicle's aesthetics. Just have to wait and see how the B pillar included X6 looks. The rendition next to the clay model is not clear enough to form an opinion.

Agreed that an X6 is far better looking than the current crop and will leave the competition in the dust in any case.
