I think that this X5 looks just right... only if the price is right tho

 

I like the adobe leather in the bottom pictures. But the whole model does nothing for me.

 

Hehe, it is butched up to look like less of a sissy compared to the Cayenne

 

It looks... Weird.?

 

Thanks for the link. It looks like they've extended it to compete against the Audi Q7. It even has the same back-up camera the Q7 has with the technology package.

In looking at the pictures again, it also has the third row seating.

protokultur - most people who are in the market for a luxury SUV (who aren't just buying a brand name) do not really compare the Cayenne to other SUV's. The Cayenne is a different animal, and most people who buy it are simply purchasing it because it is a Porsche. In the real SUV market, people are looking more for comfort - that's where the Cayenne loses out.

 

i think BMW got it right this time around.... 360hp v8 and a 260hp v6 and a lot of goodies. I loved the first one and this one doesnt seem so banglized. But the rear doors does seem awfully large. I wonder what engine will go in the M verison that isnt called an M. The IS verison I mean. I would love to see this in Imola Red.

 

Still fugly in the front. Nothing special.

 

i'm impressed. i like it.

 

I love it. Always liked the X5 and this one is even nicer. Great job overall. Beefy wheels/tires, nice interior, great exterior (very little Bangle influence, thank God), and should be decently comfortable for a small to midsize family.

 

I'm into it. I like the shifter idea. Of course it'll probably cost 10 grand more per trim level than the last one...
