[QUOTE=Slithr,May 9 2008, 02:06 PM] It wouldn't be any more of a joke for them to be sipping their lattes in this deal.

He's saying the Suburbanis better for a cross country trip, and I'd agree. At he end of the day, the X6 is still a four seater, like a normal car.

No sheit...lots of OTHER cars are better than the X6 for a cross country trip...but who gives a crap?? We're not talking about cross-country trips!!



For a cross-country trip...go with a Suburban or an Excursion...or a custom van...

And while on that subject...it depends on WHO is going...if it were just me and the wife, I'd rock an X6 for the drive...but for "MORE" people...sure the larger beasts make sense.

Hmm the latest winding road pretty much sums up my initial impression of the X6. Given, the closest I've come to one in person is one driving the other direction on the freeway. Its not a bad looking cross over, but it doesn't seem to be too practical. The X5 already drove pretty well and has practically identical exterior dimensions aside from the sloping roofline which eats up rear headroom and cargo space.

The biggest difference seems to be that the X6 is less practical all around and comes with the engines (35i and soon 50i) that aren't yet available in the X5.

My wife and I saw one at the dealership and we both thought it was hideous! Now the new M3 is another story...Absolutely GORGEOUS!!
