Good comments all, imo...

As I wrote earlier, I really, really like the look of the X6; and the
handling sounds pretty damn good espc. in view of its weight.

We have a diff situ being retired and thus, the entry cost point
combined with a potentially so-so mpg for the real world driving
we do, is an economic hurdle that is hard for us to overcome or
rationalize.

The rear vis situ is of zero concern and the nits in the reviews
are not really a neg, either. No manual is odd, and it is a porker and
it is large, (for a 2 + 2), and it is damn pricey...but, I still like the
look and the idea.

Wish it weighed 600+ lbs less, got a few more mpg on hiway, came
with a manual trans and didn't cost $70 in medium trim. Woulda, shoulda, coulda...I still like it, though.
