Are you kidding me?
In last year's cycle of auto shows (Dallas to be specific), it was displayed at the BMW booth. Every "new" car always gets a lot of traffic ... just because car people want to see new things.
There was no one in front of the X6. It was noticeable because of the lack of interest.
I bet X6 sales reflect that antipathy, although I have no information to support that comment.

Have you been inside of one yet? I really like the feel of the car, but there's absolutely no rear window visibility whatsoever. But it really looks like it'll be very sporty and nice to drive. I can picture a regular X6 out handling an ML63.

Gotta agree...I didnt like it initially...but the X6 has grown on me. The interior is nice. Its for those guys whose wives are bothering them for an SUV...but they refuse to buy a truck...then the cave and say...yeah whatever...as long as its sporty.
Jackpro....MB MUST do twin turbos and 4.5 to 5 liters. The RS6 has V10tt and the new 5's will have that......They cant afford to go with a gas guzzling 6.3L or whatever...
That said....as much as I like turbo's....if they did a 7 liter DOHC 4 valve engine......
...Yeah Id be happy.
Would 550rwhp NA with a sick exhaust sound tempt you?

On another note, I wonder why BMW is developing this engine in the X6 and not the X5. I'm not a fan of the current re-design, but I would have loved to own a first generation X5 4.8is in Imola Red. I've seen less than a handful on the road EVER. A friend of ours owned one and it was one of his favorite cars.
