that's exactly why these are the stupidest vehicles on sale today

you get SUV handling with sedan practicality lol... and i'm not even getting into the terrible visibility or bloated hideous design

Yeah, I don't get these either. That sloping rear roof kills any functionality.

I... kind... of... like... them

. Yeah, the utility sucks but at least they're "different" than the bread and butter SUVs/CUVc.

I don't hate those Coupes either. Impractical? Yes. Do I see a ton of them on the road? Yes. No accounting for taste or use cases. Yes.

they also look nothing like an actual coupe! insurance tends to be higher for them too... i genuinely can't think of a single reason to get an X6 over an X5

it would also be "different" to use square wheels but there's several reasons nobody does

i'm all for individual expression and creativity but for me to get behind an idea i need to see some upsides or benefits... with these 'SUV coupes' you truly just get the worst of both worlds

The way some of the roads are nowadays, it's hard to tell the difference...that's what even round wheels feel like LOL.

Is the RS3 a wagon or hatch?
This is the new Competition Limited.

Hatch (opinion). Looks like a Q, not an Avant.

You know I'm going to be the one to say this but the BMW wagons have always had my heart. If the F11 iteration of the 5-Series touring were available here in the US I would've been in it in a heartbeat. It is a thing of beauty!!

As far as I'm concerned the way BMW is moving in their styling (Neue Klasse or whatever) they're just downright hideous! That back end has nothing to show for itself. Too much body and not enough lights. It may look better in black but I think it looks too clunky for my taste. JMHO!

Now that Audi?!?! Hell yeah!
