Why don't you compare the 6 to a 911 or a performance car if you want. I would understand that more than taking a 5000 pound car and thinking it was a SUV. Everyone has their right to their opinion but I was just asking why does everyone think it's a SUV?  |
Many people mod their cars/SUV's looking for better handling, acceleration, braking, etc. Everyone deep down wants to be a 1/10 faster than the next person. How is that so hard to understand?
A lot of people had your attitude when the e53 came out or the Lexus RX..those things aren't SUV's...they are built on car platforms! Well, times have changed and now even the Ford Explorer is going to move from a body on frame design. The X6 is just the next evelution of the SUV. It has similar underpinnings of an X5, but with a more car like body. It is still SUV, IMO. Even if it has lost some utility. Not everyone is driving around in Suburbans or Escalades anymore.
If you want to see and X6 in car/crossover version look at the new 5 series GT.
