Depends on the model, from 4900 lbs to 5500lbs for the M

I just don't understand how you want to make something sporty and you
1. Make it huge (78" wide)?
2. Make it heavy
3. Give it an old engine and barely average power
4. Make it tall

Then you give it less room in the rear than the RX-8 with less cargo room than a Q5?

The X6 for all the heat its gotten, well, I am beginning to appreciate it since this sad knock-off is here. The X6 is better looking (wow), has more optional features, its clearly faster, has an optional appropriate V-8, and actually has a useful rear especially with the seats down and handles better. The FX is the same. Heck the X6 even will offer a hybrid.

This is clearly a vehicle aimed at Honda fans who REALLY want a X6. Period.





Wow, I have new appreciation for the X6

HAHA! I can now say my RX-8 has as much rear leg room as an RDX! Woo-hoo! That's good marketing for Mazda.

This car is truly an epic failure. BTW, I always thought Car & Driver was the prefered toilet tissue for the internet....

I mean its obvious Honda is making knock-off X6s with the ZDX and Crosstour but they got it all wrong. The X6 is a complete in comparison to both....

You are right. MT is the preferred toilet tissue of goats...

Yes goats use toilet paper and traditional rest rooms

That's an ugly Acura model which is one of many in the Acura line.

Agreed.

The existence of the ZDX really makes the X6 way better choice.

i actually saw an X6 M yesterday.

i thought about this thread and the ZDX as a whole.

then i thought to myself,

"my god, the X6 doesn't look bad at all!"

X6 looks better than the ZDX thing, IMO.

Even the damn name sounds better. X6. Simple, you know its their SUV wanna be coupe( 6 series).

ZDX sounds like a pill you take to kill yourself. They just make up names at will and they continue to make no sense.

Now I have to start a X6 "grew on me" thread....the internet will go nuts

The X6 actually look a lot better in real life than in pictures, the proportions are still not right though.
I bet BMW is sending thank You letters to Acura right now, for making all their Chris Bangle cars look good.
