Do you all believe this X6 will make people rethink large SUVs or will it seemed to be BMWs worst idea?



Based on spy shots alone...

Can't really tell.

We will have to wait and see; after all, the Cayenne had everything to be a flop, and yet turned out to be a real life saver to Porsche.

However, I'm not really enthusiastic about the idea of a 4x4 SAV 4-door Coupé.

I think it will be a hit.....................just like any other premium SUV really. Despite the high gas prices the appetite for SUV hasn't been satisfied and I know that there are divorced soccer moms who will be quick to sign up for an 09 X6 the first time they'll see one.

Will it change people's view on large SUVs? Unlikely since there is already a very sporty SUV out there called the Cayenne. On the other hand the coupish roof will make it appeal to many who want the coolest and latest like all the Mercedes CLS owners.

i personally dont like the shape..but im willing to wait..
but i dont think that will change much
but if its gonna be a hit or a miss?
well thats decided by the sales..
so i say it will be a hit..

I'd say it's got a lot of potential. Depending on how much higher it's positioned above the X5. If it's the same difference between a 535 and the 650 (50k vs 75k in the US) then it's won't be a blow away hit. If it's a little closer to the X5 price, I think it will do quite well.

I'm sure it will sell, it's a BMW.

Although I will wait till the press pictures come out till I make my final judgement on the design of the car!

This will probably be the most dynamic SUV on the market, with 4.4 TT engine and V10 engine, lower point of gravity, etc.

I think it'll be a great hit, and the looks for the finished car will be quite nice I'm sure.

i rather see the car with no camo to judge, but from what ive seen so far , BIG HIT.

Surprise, surprise, I like it.

I like the SAC idea, and the general coupe-ish shape.

Side profile looks great - coupeish & sleek, rear very dominant, the front is very aggressive.

The overall shape is very dynamic, especially the side profile - which is eg not the case in another SAC: Audi Cross Coupe with its forward-leaning rear.


Only the fascia (especially grille, hood & headlights) could be a bit less X5-ish.

It will be definitely a big hit, and it could be a mega-big hit if they made the front more aggressive with some elements of the CS
but I m sure it will be a hot-seller
