In 7 1/2 years, I've carried 4 people total, many times in our
X5. I think I've had 5 maybe twice. It just seems to me that
the target demographic is not hauling 3 kids or 3 adults in the
back seat very often.
Just an opin from the back row of the Peanut Gallery.
Hope you and B are doing well!

You're right - looks, performance, 'tude, and price is not a problem. And yes, the target demographic is geared is toward the driver who wants a statement vehicle.
In hindsight, the comments are more likely the product of the local demographic. We're smack dab in a affluent community, but one that also places a major value on family (as in hauling around the kids, in-laws, aunts, uncles, and whoever can fit). It's a demographic that buys alot of 7-series, S-class, etc., but they are definitely not the type of buyers who would buy Escalades or Surburbans (too ghetto).
