From my experience, there's only a handful of times a year where I need a vehicle to get past inclement weather and usually any car can be solved with good snow tires. Unless you really need the higher ride height because of rougher terrain an SUV is never a solution to snow/rain. Good driving skills are also key in tough weather. The only time I could see a good purpose of a SUV is for hauling lots of people/cargo. Most SUVs don't tote a good towing power.
The X6 is clearly for prestige. Not there's anything wrong with luxury and spending your money but it's definitely not a car for me. I don't really know if it's going to be a volume seller as there's not much of a market for it in my opinion.

I like it! Depending on the trunk space, although the trunk looks pretty tall to be versital if it's a hatch back and have big opening I might just get this one over the R class. Hopefully they will keep the price down on the v-6 version too.

I don't understand it, what is it and why? Is it suppose to appeal to young soccer moms/ young execs who like to go very fast over rocks and bumps but still want that car sort of feel?

These pictures look fake to me, but I'm sure we will see more pictures very soon.

it looks pretty real ugly to me.
From what I heard (X5 world, poster Scott27, and he is 99% right about all the future BMW), this is the real deal and the production version will only differ in side mirror (from E70 X5) and obviously not so flush B and C pillars.
