X6, no doubt. The others are simply trying to immitate it and its formula without looking obvious, and failing in multiple ways.

Audi and Porsche in particular look way to conservative for what these cars should be.

X6 was always meant to be polarizing and disruptive, and it still very much does that in this gen. It's like a car built to feed off the energy of the haters, doing better and better with each gen despite all the teeth gnashing in protest.

I have had several BMW's and always lean that way. After seeing the RS Q8 at the LA Auto Show, I am interested to drive one and see how it prices out. I've always been an X5 versus X6 fan. The Porsche is great but if you lease like I do, the residual and money factor Porsche uses plus their MRM on leases automatically disqualifies them for me. I know BMW always gets aggressive on leasing, I'll be anxious to see how the Audi does and if the pricing/payment is close.

mods can you adjust his post to get rid of the unnecessary duplicate photos now in this thread on the first page.

This kind of repetitive picture posting is very boring and it happens way too often. What is wrong with some people ?

Q8 RS looked great in green at the LA Auto show. However, they also had the Audi RS6 Avant right beside it. I'd take that car over any of these SUVs in a heartbeat! it's such a clean and neat design! one of the best looking cars at the auto show by a country mile!

Not a fan of SUV Coupe. But the X6M and Cayenne looks not bad.

But I love the standard SUV X5M, Cayenne Turbo, GLE63, etc

All great. But I think Audi looks best. Hard choice over the Bmw.

I can tell you that the Audi will be horrible to lease. Residual will be very low and MF will be high, plus market availability premium over Msrp. Even if the sticker is close to the X6, they will be miles apart in monthly payment.
