Please BMW. Just… don't.

I really, really, really don't want to see BMW's already full range to be populated with a "pointlessmobile." Whatever this new X thingie car is called, it had best be the coolest thing sinced sliced pancakes.

Personally, there'd be something appealing about a coupe-type vehicle that rode a bit higher than normal and had massive amounts of rear legroom. Guess we'll have to wait and see…

I hope they wont' build such a pointless model, an offroad coupe? well BMW SAVs aren't for off road anyway, so why would you want to be so high up driving a sporty coupe?? i think the person driving it would look pretty dumb...
MB is trying to expand their models with stuff like Bclass and Rclass, which imo is a more elegant way than making all these rough looking SAVs.. if they make a X7 it would be nice, just don't do a X6 please!!

X6 prototypes with original body design & a heavy plastic cladding is about to hit the roads & tracks very soon - within few weeks.

According to my info in late 2008 (LA auto show) / early 2009 (NAIAS 2009). With very possible concept showcar in some earlier autoshow (eg. Frankfurt 2007, Detroit 2008, or Geneva 2008).

Very possible auto show debuts (IMO):

LA 2006: E70 X5
Detroit 2007: 3er cabrio
Geneva 2007: 1er 3dr + 1er facelift, M3 concept
Leipzig 2007: 5er facelift
Frankfurt 2007: M3 coupe, new technologies, Z8 design study
Tokio 2007: 6er facelift + 635d
LA 2007: 2er cabrio (maybe even Frankfurt 2007)
Detroit 2008: X6 concept
Geneva 2008: 3er facelift, 2er coupe
London 2008: M3 sedan
Paris 2008: new 7er
LA 2008: M3 cabrio
Detroit 2009: X6 (or Geneva 2009)
Geneva 2009: V5 (or Frankfurt 2009)
Frankfurt 2009: new Z4 (or LA 2009)

The R-Klasse hasn't gotten off to good start, and I have now question weather or not all the hype about as of yet undeveloped niches is all hot gas. While there's plenty to like about the R, I also get the feeling that it's a project that found lots in the boardroom while trying to read tea leaves.

Yep I completely agree! the idea of this design is the sum of pointlessness.
Who in the world needs a coupe-like body design thats been crossed with an SUV. It really serves no perpose whatever!! The idea behind the SUV is to have maximum utility, to make the most of it`s space. The basic idea behind this concept is just plain bad.

You, crazy Americans...

You are going to buy it, just like your buying 500+hp van - the R63 AMG!
