true bearing in mind that one of the most wanted cars in UAE is the RangeRover sport. Its really boring to watch that car here. I wish the X6 sells well however this means it will loose some of its exclusivity.
You know guys, I think I made the right decision. I've always wanted an SUV. I used to think those SUV fans are just going with the flow but recently I discovered it isn't just a trend. In an SUV I feel like I have more options. My friends and I go off-roading but not "landrover" kind of off-roading,its more like "soft" offroading. Plus I've always wanted a sports car performance and an everyday practical car with nice boot. The only cars that offered that kind of qualities were the Cayenne and the X5. I've always had mixed feelings about the looks of the cayenne leaning more toward uglyness while the new X5 is kind of under-powered compared to the old 4.8iS but it really drove nicely (thanks to the AS + well balanced chasis). In addition, I really like how BMW manages to produce their cars. I mean it is a solid built car, full of technology (iDrive, electronics .. etc) + I am addicted to their road feel & steering/throtle response!. Add to that, BMW is really a quiet car when it comes to isolating unwanted noises! The only noise they allow into the cabin is the engine noise which gives the adernaline rush that any enthusiastic driver wants! I really think that I can live happily with an ugly BMW than a beautifully designed MB or Audi! Sorry no offened to the other marques but I feel a true driver would appreciate BMWs more than the others.
As for the X6, it combined most of the things I wanted in a car. Even my wife luvved the idea of combining several cars into one and the outcome was weird in a very nice way.

Thanks, Marcus.
Seriously, Maserati attended show, took pics and videos and posted it for us here. It's his content and he can put it where he wants. He decides where it can be seen and judging by his reaction (thieves), i don't think he's happy with it and i, of course, agree with him.
If we've been treated like that, we'll do the same. We will protect our members and their stuff!

The X6 in white is simply stunning, mine will be black, but then I guess I won't be driving all the way to Abu Dhabi...
branko: Sure i don't mind spreading them at least they should give credit to the poster or the forum. Anyways I should've watermarked it. And congratulations and many happy miles.

I am sure that if you ask they will change the article to reflect this, I have seen other articles on their web site where they have made reference to Palbay's pictures...
On the other hand they should have done it in the first place !
