andre8,No need for any compliments,I'm having a blast following the development of the X6 in real time! The X6 is a big vehicle.However,I will say it's 2nd Gen X5 big.I view the new X5 as a full size SUV but,IMO,it just does not seem visually as big as say a Yukon,Escalade,XC90,etc...A credit to BMW's "sleight of hand" design.The same applies to the X6 but even in a bigger way.The X6 does tower over sedans in traffic.It just does not register in your brain in the same way as looking at a Yukon sitting next to a sedan. The X6 just does not assault your sense of size and proportion in the same way a traditional SUV would. Not to be a shill for BMW's Design Team,but I think they really nailed the X6.You know the X6 is as big as an X5, but your brain and eye's are telling you your looking at maybe a 6 Series. IMO,the X6 triggers all the sedan responses,not the SUV reactions.And I think that is what BMW was trying to do with this design.I hope all this psychobabble makes sense!!! Thanks.PalBay |
