Well, the whole purpose of cars like X6 and ZDX is to be as ugly and useless as possible, so the Yuckura easily surpasses the BMW in that sense.

I still dont see the purpose or the market target for the X6. Its made for wealthy people who want to spend as much money as possible for as litle utility as possible, while still looking stylish. FAIL IMO

The X6 is pointless. That is why I wil forever hate it, and every vehicle of it's type. I do not see what the point of buying this vehicle is, as opposed to buying a 5 series/5 series estate or an X5. It takes the WORST qualities of both and puts them into one UGLY package. At best, you get the best traits of one with the worst qualities of the other.... can't spin that any other way.
The caveat...see below

In person, the X6 is very aggressive looking..... so much that I do actually find it appealing. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's ugly....butt ugly. You know sometimes though, you just can't help but be attracted to the girl with the dog/horse face but who has a banging body and drips sex appeal....

Caveat #2... you would never marry or be seen in public with said girl.... just like i'd never buy an X6.

lol

Apart from exotic supercars which serve the same purpose (a lot of cash for little or no utility), you may have a point. I've seen some 5.0L V8-equipped X6 models list for as high as 86K here in my area. Little wonder they are not selling.

food for thought...if the dog face girl with a banging body went for plastic surgery/makeover and came out half decent looking, would you change your mind? consider if you dress her up to the hilt with a smoking black dress with 3 inch heels, hair and makeup makeover. plastic surgeon was able to remove most of the facial defects. would you have a different opinion?

so now you slap on a bodykit, wheels, and suspension kit on a X6, plus other mods. turns a below average looking X6 gal into a hot X6 chick you'd want to take out on a date.

just saying...

They are selling real well in the NYC area. This X6 is actually a better drive than the X5. Flatter cornering, & even tighter chassis. The only way for folks to decipher the differences is to drive them.

Funny that people acknowledge that the X5 is a great drive, but don't comprehend that the X6 is even better.

The interior of the X6 is also beautiful and a significant improvement over the X5's and 3 that he previously had.

Any stats or "oh I saw one, thus its selling well" Its selling poorly actually and the stats we post every month.

Also everyone no sense rehashing the same comments about the X6.

Yep, the sales stats speak for themselves (consistently pathetic), but nobody mentioned the fact that it's very overweight and a gas hog.

It speaks for itself :lol:
