I see a few women drive them around here ............ I don't think they have a bad image here.
Here the X6 doesn´t have a bad image either.

The X6 has a bad image here in Germany but many people still want one. It is kind of a weird thing.
Envy has a lot to do with this image but also the fact that many X6 are owned by people with an immigration background and/or "younger" (in their 30s and 40s) people who are wealthy but maybe not really rich. It is difficult to explain but owning a X6 over here is kind of like wearing a thick Rolex gold watch and a thick gold chain around your neck, if you get the point.
I know two X6 owners here personally and one is from Croatia (he owns a restaurant) and the other one is from Turkey (he owns a small cell phone business). Funny enough, the restaurant owner actually wears a golden Rolex...a fake one.
SUVs have a bad image in Germany anyway and the sportier looking X6 adds to this because it seems to be showing off only. People seem to have issues with luxury SUVs. The Cayenne isn't that flashy anymore (which is a good thing here..) and while there are many Range Rover on the road, they have a similar (but different..."rich people like managers, bankers...") image problem here, even more than the Cayenne in my opinion.
