Wink I've NEVER wanted an SUV so bad

A 5,256 hunk of metal should not:


Reach 60mph in 4.1seconds

Have a quartermile of 12.6seconds

Have a slalom speed of 68.6mph

Shouldnt corner "Dead Flat"

Shouldnt have "offers incredible feedback and has enough power to influence chassis"

Shouldnt brake from 60mph in 107feet



"You see, this X6 is so fast that its odd looks, big sticker and pointless existence don't really matter. You simply have to respect it for what it can do. And we're not just talking about going fast in a straight line. It stops and turns amazingly well, too. It's a triumph of engineering over design and marketing. Just take a look at the numbers if you don't believe us."




If loving this is wroooong, i dont wanna be right!! Haha.

If I'm dropping a hundred grand I want something that looks good while performing well. Or at least something that doesn't make me throw up a little in my mouth like that ugly thing.

I understand the numbers are outstanding for an SUV...

But for pure performance considering the price, I would spend the extra mark-up and get a GTR or S-class Merc or even a Z06.. plus or minus a few dollars.. Plus the Interior in this thing doesn't jump out at you... Just my opinion.. I've seen this thing in person and looked at it and even the fall apart Range Rover feels better inside, obviously lacking in comparison to performance...

Okay, well that's your opinion. I'm talking about this ridiculously heavy machine's performance.

I await them dropping this engine in the M5. BMW adding KERS is unnecessary. If you're dropping 100k, you wouldnt care what people think either.

I already don't care what people think. It's what I think that matters and I think it looks like crap.

The good news for you though is it will likely have crappy resale value so maybe you can get one in a few years.
