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)

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.

Being problematic that really makes me nervous which i am getting use to hearing abt bmw now and then. The front space isn't much different than the x5 but back will certainly be not as comfy as a x5 and with only 2 seats less head room.
