Just saw the X6 in person
The car is fugly! I'm sorry to say so and is very expensive. The 3.5 version costs $100,000!!! It looks like a giant hatch back and has no identity. The front I can swallow since it looks like a huge 3 series but the back is plain butt-ugly, let me take that back, I like some butts its just ugly.
The car seats 4 but I felt a bit squeezed in the back - I'm 180cm tall - maybe its an illusion due to the way the roof is constructed and how the car is squatting to the front.
The car is more expensive than a V6 3.0 X5 and V8 4.8 X5 as well. The V6 X5 fully loaded here costs $69,000 and the fully loaded V8 X5 costs $91,000. I'm sure the car will sell but I see no value for the money from design or practical views. To me, I'd be like who in his right mind would go get this and pass up on a Cayenne GTS for example for less money ! but I'm sure some others will love it and pay! If you are leaning towards a cross-over purchase then you are better off going with the Infinity FX, its better value for the money and way better looking.
Kind of the same feeling people are having towards the GT-R - some people can't wait and love it and some people are saying they wouldn't touch it with a stick!
