When automakers ask questions, they get answers to them, but they can't always control who provides those answers.

I'm not sure what you watched, but I'm pretty sure the X6 M won that. Barely, but still won. Regardless these are both two amazing cars. Second, you state "The X6 M is BMW’s answer to the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S Coupe." False, the GLE coupe's are Mercedes response to BMW. I really question the intelligence of whoever writes some of the articles that make it to the front page

Let's be honest, it's the Mercedes who copied the BMW on this one, and you can blame the driver as much as you want. The truth is, BMW owns this segment, both in terms of looks and performance, period. And the GLE is UGLE!
Yes, I own a Mercedes.

As a newbie I can't take anything you say seriously

Yes newbie you are right, BMW owns this segment in terms of perfermance as they are on their 2nd generation of the X6 but we all know that. When it comes to looks, well that is subjective to your opinion and frankly its irrelevant.

Yes, I was expecting that, thats why I use this account, to answer nonsense like the article above and jealousy comments of yours. Maybe my comment is irrelevant to you oldie, but is objective. Yes Mercedes is the best in other segments like luxury, SUV, etc, etc..., but this model, bleah, just a rush to get in to a undisputed segment where BMW was the pioneer and is to remain a leader. And remember my words: UGLE it is going to FAIL. Why don't they stick with what they do best and dominate there? That was my point. The only nice thing about the GLE is the sound!
I did not try to offend you oldie! My critique is of a specific model, not entire brand....
