Amen brother! I'll double-down on that

I still dont like coupe SUVs. I saw an x6 the other day and it has tremendous road presence, like a tomato in a basket of banans, it just demands attention. Ive seen a few x5 m while driving and non compared to that walrus of an suv x6 m.

Love this post. I have an X6 and chose it for that reason.

Who would have thought Pontiac had it right all along. They were just a decade too early lol

Mercedes stole this design idea and did a much better job with it

It definitely tames the ASD down along with flaps in exhaust. It's pretty noticeable.

I still think the X5 looks "better" in that its classically good looking and not awkward, but agree otherwise. X5 is very common and you see one at every stoplight. The X6 is all about being different for better or worse, in a good way.

Nobody, and I mean nobody that ever drove an Aztec was trying to keep a low profile. Everyone points at it and laughs.

Funny. I can't stand Thomas and James, especially James. 🤷

Completely agree. The X5MC in extended shadow line to me is one of the best looking sporty SUVs right now. Only driven an M50i, but I just loved it!

Saw an X6M at the dealer and in person it looks really odd to me. JMHO.
