Yeah the point is the appearance. The same deal with CLS. It doesn't offer anything the E class doesn't, save the coupish looks (which I don't get either - but that is for another thread).

Every car that is not a 5 door hatchback with around 100 hp and hybrid tech is pointless.


if you need more f*ing space, take the public transportation.

By rights, I happen to agree with the author. Sure, you could say that all cars are pointless, but that just isn't true. There are tons of pointless cars out there.

Seriously, why would anyone buy a less practical X6 with less space for more money than an X5? Even when the extra driving dynamics are taken into account, it all works out absurdly useless on paper. Same goes for the MB CLS.

That being said, I'm contradicting myself because I'd buy one in a second. Why? Because I it looks better than an X5. That's my reasoning.

Well that is called "emotional shopping" when u value aesthetics over practility,and everyone does it in his own way.

LOL, because you say so???

Hehehehe, funny indeed. You will one day realise that X1 is probably less pointless than a 2500 kg truck. But every single car in BMWs lineup is completely and utterly pointless if you say X1 is pointless.
