What is this discussion about? BMW X6, Future Vehicle, SUV

First Look: 2009 BMW X6 xDrive50i - BMW has never been shy about inventing new vehicle categories out of thin air. (Don't think the X5 is a sport-utility vehicle; it's a sports activity vehicle!) So never mind that a coupe is generally defined as a closed car with two doors, while the X6 has four doors. The X6 has a coupelike fastback roof line, so that will have to be justification enough for calling it a sports activity coupe. (more)

Replying to: tony411la (Feb 22, 2008 6:48 pm) I've read rumors about an X4 and the replacement for the X3 is surely going to offer the then current 3.0 TT engine. Based on my wife, our two shelties and me, we don't need the extra weight and size of either the X5 or X6. The X4, if it is real, would probably be "perfect." My wife just ordered her second X3 and even tho the upgrades from '05 to '08 are moderate, the new X3 is a very nice way to cross country or go to the grocery. She almost for a half a second went with an Acadia. Whew! Dodged that one. The thing is, the new X6 is, in pictures at least, soooo darned good looking.

After reading others opinion finally FINALLY saw it in person i am in love with this car never seen anything like it before. I have read before this car is similar to the infiniti fx but its totally different IMO. It looks so much better in person than the pictures.

After having a 2 year love/hate relationship with an X-5, I am so ready to go back into the BMW family - this SAV is the perfect next choice... Replies to this message: bmlexus (Mar 27, 2008 3:57 pm)

#29 of 69 Heads Up: BMW X-6 by dborlando Apr 05, 2008 (4:53 am)
FACTS: BMW's Market Target For The X-6: 6 Series and X-5 drivers. The X-6 is built on the X-5 platform, with a similar interior. Main Difference: The rear seat head room is compromised with the sharp-sloping roof line, thus being called a "sports activity coupe". If a 3rd row seat, and reduced cargo space (again because of the roof line) are not an issue, than this could be the car for you. The I-Drive software is from the 6 Series' edition (and also the latest X-5 models), which is the most preferred edition, because of its simplicity, compared to other BMW models. OPINION: I see this BMW model competing mainly with the Audi A-3 and Infiniti FX. Yet, it's totally BMW and without a doubt, going to be a head-turner. SUGGESTION: As a new model, lease and finance rates will most likely be uncompetitive, as well as the first run being potentially problematic (as the case with most first-run BMW's). Wait until both engines have had their first year runs, and test-drive an X-6 to make sure the interior space is not going to be an issue.
