Saw one last night, not at all a fan of those lights.

I like it. They even have seats that come out to sit on the tailgate. The standard engine competes well with the LX600 but RR wisely kept the V8 and crazy expensive trims which annihilates it in every way.. I hear these take off from lights all the time, the exhaust sounds great. When we were talking about ubiquitous SUVs around our area, RRs are definitely up there in the top echelon around here.

I paid exactly the same.....back in January. 
It has come down pretty dramatically since getting close to $7 over the summer. But now, even with our fuel tax suspended for another two weeks, our most recent fill was $4.699. Not looking forward to January.

I probably would get the 6. Lots of reviews say the car feels better with the 6 and that the 8 makes it nose heavy and impacts the ride. I would drive both, obviously first. I would also have to buy that car to get the 179 deduction and I would have to keep it for 5 years, and the BMW V8 has a terrible reliability reputation.

I'm still on the fence on the Range Rover personally. They only have low option models out and I haven't gotten to properly test drive a loaded one. I do have a friend that has one already but it's sitting at the dealer as something is wrong with his ABS and traction control. No ETA for a fix date yet as they can't get parts...

I don't like most of these "fastback" crossovers; Porsche does it well; the Audi Q5 Sportback isn't bad. But BWMs and MBs--I just don't like any of those offerings when they slice the hatch off....

I'm aware of that very well. I was referring to the change from the previous one, the black part in the bumper. The front also looks odd but not as bad as this. The X6 I saw the other day also had a change in the rear. They both look very out of place. Overall I don't like or hate X6/GLE Coupe. X4 before this change did look fine IMO.

How do you like your X1 so far? As we discussed in an earlier thread they've made some big improvements over the previous gen which I had.
