I cannot see the point of the X6. I mean, okay the X5 as an SAV is pretty good. It's oversized, but it drives fairly well, has enough utility to carry around bikes/skis, and can hold 5 people in comfort. Great.

Now, the X6. You can't really carry gear around in that, not with the roof that slopes down like the front of a Prius. Plus, it has the elegance of a helicopter crash. You can carry four, but the rear passengers better not be too tall. It's supposed to be sportier than an X5, but I mean, it's still pretty dang heavy and loaded up with gadgets. So why? Why does BMW insist on spending R&D on making big, heavy trucks? Why can't they go back to roots and make a proper, small car that's nimble and exciting to drive?
