True. It's a marketing driven idea. There is a demand for such a car - otherwise car companies wouldn't go for it.

It's like ML, X3, CLS etc - all of them were considered gimmicky when they were launched. But all of them are a proven success.

Just look at the MB CLS - the public was skeptic about "4-door coupe" idea - calling it unnecessary. But CLS is a hit now - and many other car makers are adopting the idea, planning to produce their own "4-door coupes".

CLS was a trend setter, so will be X6. A perfect car for rich American customers who have natural born fetish for SUVSs / higher ride: providing them a high ride sports coupe. Features from both SUV & coupe worlds.

Just to give you an idea how the general shape of upcoming X6 / X-sport SAC (sport activity coupe) will look like - here is Hyundai's interpretation of SAC, but expect very similar profile on X6:



X6 will have similar boot lid opening to this Hyundai (or to Z4 Coupe) - whole rear lifting up:

BMW X6 will be a Sport Activity Coupe.
It will be a performance coupe with higher road clearance / higher sitting position - not a SUV / SAV with coupe-ish shape (ala Infiniti FX or VW Concept A).
Off-road capabilities will be of second or even third, fourth nature - just like interior space: there will be comfort for 4 people, not more!

X6 will be BMW's CLS: but with more SAV than sedan genes.
Like it was said before: jumped-up performance coupe.

Imagine slightly higher & larger XCoupe - with additional pair of doors.



The point: market researches shows upscale customers want more individual performance vehicles: and SACs are such a vehicles in what people are interested in.

I don't know that I like this idea, but BMW has yet to build something that I don't like in someone. In addt. to having a love for their no non sense approach to driving dynamics I also appreciate their out of the box standards for design. If there is one company that makes it's own original but grealy linked to the past designs, it's BMW.

The X6 production car will share a sloping glasshouse similar to the Z4 coupe placed on broad shoulders widening for the wheel arches in the rear.

Even the front lights - the snake eye-like slits that sit on the top edge of the bonnet - although the X6's will be larger.

The X6 will be brutally beautiful. People like to be shocked by design. It's like architechture or furniture design. People like individuality and quirkiness and are turned off by something which is all one shape or form. (ie Computers: eg Applemac to normal PC - people prefer the design to the normal box).

Although the BMW grille will not make a comeback like this.
