From my understanding it will be a crossover type thingie.....Also X4 should be coming too....
It will offer a range of engines, not just the high hp one u state

That red "X6" is the worst photoshop picture I have seen. Looks like an FX being rebadged with a pontiac grill.

In other words, it looks like a production car

Last Saturday, I went to a BMW dealer to pick up the German Castrol I have been using in my RX. I decided to test drive again a 1-series with my cousin. However, it seemed the entire time, the salesperson was telling me how beautiful BMW vehicles were and I kept dropping stuff on him like Bangle, new X-series and he kind of kept quiet after that.

That's just what American drivers need... a 450+ horsepower uber-rig
with a high center of gravity. I call them "turtles," because when it rains
in California, I always see these rigs upside-down on the side of the freeway.

I don't think its the car's fault. It's typically the driver...

Gotta love California drivers!

So you are saying a BMW salesman should tell their potential customers how ugly their cars are?

It's personal preference. There's no point to argue or debate on the look.

The grill is ugly but overall I like the shape of it. Then again I am also one of those people that like the FX.

I stopped by a BMW dealership to get a good look at the '07 X5. My test drive of the 4.8 X5 was very impressive. Also, I love the redesigned exterior

I like the X5, but would never buy one. BMW has lost it.

The new X5 with the 20" sport package wheels has run flat tires that are a whopping $500 a piece installed. That is more than tires for a 911.

Absolutely rediculous to pay that kind of money for tires on a SUV.

Give me back my dipstick, spare, jack, tools, etc.
