Fortunately for BMW, it's sold out....

My friends in Germany tell me if you order an X6 today, it will be mid 2009 before you recieve it. They wouldn't even consider an Infiniti (rebadged Nissan, oops I mean Renault)

Germany is not the US as there are 6's on the lots here. I see the July sales were down to the 400's about half what they were initially. Someone is blowing smoke about the sold out thing.

What's your point? If BMW were only producing 12 X6's a year, guy #12 on the list wouldn't get one until August of next year. Everything is relative.

Why wouldn't they consider an Infiniti? Do they all have group-think? the same exact automotive needs? they all live the same lifestyle? they all make the same money?

Whether you like it or not, Infiniti DID release the FX series 5 years ago, and the X6 IS a similar vehicle and it costs $10-$15k more than the Infiniti.

You're making some ridiculously broad statements that wreak of fan-boy ooops, I mean extremist).

X6 is a great car. In my opinion it looks better than the X5 ,and after a test drive at my dealer I can tell you the handling is amazing ,much better than my X5 with adaptive drive.

No doubt it is beautiful. I parked my X5 next to one at the dealer and my car looked like a box truck. Hell, it even makes the e70 look bad. but when I walk around to the back, I get reminded of all the aztek references people have made. for shame.
