There it is...at very least experience it for yourself. And by all means, don't hold back on the throttle (for testing purposes) If you weren't aware, i believe there's an option to have the rear seats converted to fit 3...and there's a well priced factory performance upgrade (7RR) that boosts HP & torque without compromising gas mileage. Member cmyX6go recently received a tuned X6 50i and has written great reviews.

An X6 will handle just as confident during inclement Tahoe weather. A set of all-season M&S rubbers or dedicated M&S winters and you'll forget all about your Vantage...(during winter months of course )
