they should actually put in side vents, instead of just making the indentation and adding the turn signal lights there...im not impressed with the styling. and the pictures make it look really boxy, like the 1gen X5.
though I'm not sold on a 'performance SUV' ... let's see it perform in a corner, pft.
How wide are those tires btw?
These things are better then 99% of the cars on the road, I have only been behind the wheel of a 4.6 X5 and I went around an on ramp, speed rated at 15mph and was pushing past 90, I felt completely planted and secure, these things can corner.

Now, I haven't tried 'fogs' in the headlights but it sounds like a marketing ploy to me, not like actual fogs.
My 06 Maxima had fogs in the headlight housing, nothing more then looks is what they did, would much prefer fogs lower in the bumper, the 07/08 Maximas have separate fogs, and many 04-06 owners swap head/fog lights

Sorry but this is so completely wrong. I just sold my X5 and have seat time behind the wheel of a brand new X6 (the best handling SUV I have ever driven)....and in no way do they handle better than 99% of vehicles on the road. I've also driven the new 4.8 X5 and the new 5.5 X6....they still drive like SUV's.
The X6 will outhandle an X5 but the laws of physics take over eventually. They are heavy, high sitting vehicles that can't corner like you suggest. They definitely handle much better than anything else out there...but you make it sound like they'll out handle a car. They won't.
The X5M and X6M are obviously a significant step up from the more base models, and I'm sure they handle even better.....but they're freakin' SUV's.
