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. | |

| Re: BMW X Sport crossover vehicle 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:  |

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. | |

| Re: BMW X6 (X Sport) crossover vehicle 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. |
