The X5 starts at $61,9 and the X6 (with sunroof) at $63,9. Not bad. I'd say the premium is not all that much more, and figure the sexiness will appeal to a lot of poseurs people. The spread for the V8's is a little more though.

Your article is much too kind!  I'm a big BMW fan but....this thing looks like the Germans gave over the design to some country folk in South Carolina!   Ever seen those "Red Neck" photos floating around? 
I saw it at the Auo Show and it's worse in real life than the photos.  As some have said, "what a waste of an awesome power plant!"  I could rant on....

You've never actually met anyone from the Carolinas, have you?  Here's a little hint: don't stereotype entire populations based on photographs on the internet.  I mean, I did a Google image search on the word "Canadians", and this is what I found:



Do you think that's an accurate representation of your family?  Seriously?

Finally saw an X6 in the flesh yesterday at the local dealers.

My initial impressions were:
- it is huge
- the front and front/side view is much more appealing than the rear view
- not sure exactly why I would buy an X6 over an X5
- not sure why I would buy either over the sedans unless it was a one-vehicle family with a need to carry large objects.

I was downtown not long ago, and stopped by BMW to take a look at the X6 (and the much more appealing 135...  :drool:).  The X6 is, without a doubt, one of the ugliest vehicles I've ever seen in my life.  I hazard to say I would rather be seen in an Aztek.  It's that ugly.

I think it's one of the most gorgeous-looking SUVs/CAVs around... my neighbour has a Black one, and it looks great.

So you're the one.

Anyway, to each their own.   :cheers:  I generally think I should just agree to disagree regarding aesthetics with anyone in a 2006+ Civic anyway ;)
