Default Progressive Activity Sedan: F6








Very reliable sources says it will have the rear of the X6. It should be very fuel efficient, and four inches lower than the R-Class. Engines arent confirmed but I expect a revised version of the twin-turbo I-6. I think it would easily outdue the R-Class in sales.

This HUCKFELDT is almost always DEAD ON with his illustrations..

I don't see how it's an R-Class competitor with only two rows, shorter (less headroom), and less cargo space. This is just a weird-looking wagon, as far as I'm concerned (and less capacious, at that, due to the funky rear).

Where have I seen that car? Where....

Oh yeah!



I don't quite get what the marketing pitch / niche for that vehicle is?

Is it a 5-door to compete with an A3?

Or is it a wagon to compete with an A4 avant?

Or is it a "crossover?" I don't even know what that entails, but the sloped trunk makes for little functional trunk space.

And yes, I understand that's body cladding. I was just poking a little fun. But the comments still pertain to the overall dimensions in the artist's renderings.

I don't get this thing either. It's more like a tall Merc CLS than an R-class-alike. Does the R-class even sell decently? I don't see them often at all. This just looks like a pointless Bimmer to me.

Okay. Whats not logical about my post? Not everything I post serves as something to put them up on a pedestal. I just wanted to see what are your thoughts on the illustration. I have a thing for big wagon type things. I'm sure as hell gonna miss the dodge magnum as that is my favorite dodge.

Well, they do say love is blind.

Seriously though, when did it become necessary for passion to be logical? I doubt many people think my passion for the 49ers is logical. (Especially the last few years. ) But that's the idea, no?

I stopped by a dealer who had a low price on a CDI type-R but the drive was a disappointment. The thing is a pig over 6000 pounds and no amount of nice finish (which it did have) made it an enjoyable drive.
