On the brightside, I hear the outlook for X6 sales went up, driven by prada bag toting golddiggers from SoCal.

I swear X6's aren't selling and BMW is totally making up sales figures. All you hear about is how dealers can't keep them in stock and how much better they are selling than they plrojected, but yet nobody actually sees them on the road. I haven't seen one yet.

I've seen one yes ONE on the road since they came out in CA and that is only because someone down the street has one so I see it all the time, never seen another on the road ever, on the contrary I've seen lots of the new FX and I see tons of 528/535i's on the road, same goes for the G37 Coupe, their all over, but the X6? Not to much

Our Largest dealer has a decent amount of them collecting dust right next to the X5's collecting equally as much dust.

CA, especially San Diego has been devastated by the Real Estate downturn, I live Downtown and our condo's on average have lost 60%+ of our peak value.

ha ha! BMW's X6 projection is/was 40,000 units worldwide. Compare the X6 sales to 6-series. When 6-series was released people did not see them on road for long time. I still just see same M6 and 650 in my area.
All sales info for all manufacturers by # of units is online at prnewswire.com.

I've seen a few of the X6s around NYC Metro and New Jersey. In fact, there are two around in my immediate area (a gray one and red one ).

Now back to the Lexus, I think this looks like a cheaper car now. The front headlights look a lot like a Camry and I swear those taillights are directly from that new Mazda SUV. Nevertheless, sales will probably still be threw the roof. The hip soccermoms need something to drive.
