THE FIRST-EVER BMW X6 SPORTS ACTIVITY COUPE: BMW's All-New X6 xDrive35i and X6 xDrive50i Make World Debuts at Detroit Auto Show in 2008



**

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - December 15, 2007, 6PM EST... BMW will once again introduce a ground-breaking idea to the world and the creation of a new segment with the debut of its all-new X6 Sports Activity Coupe at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show in January. The all-new vehicle redefines the very notion of a coupe -- with five doors and four sculpted seats, a higher ride and loads of cargo space. It defies coupe conventions in one jaw-dropping look, combining coupe agility and SAV versatility, taking the coupe to a higher level.

As the world's first Sports Activity Coupe, the BMW X6 will be available in two engine variants: the xDrive50i (4.4 V8 engine, 400 hp, 450lb.-ft torque) and the xDrive35i (3.0 inline six-cylinder engine, 300 hp, 300 lb.-ft torque), both with Twin Turbo and direct injection. The BMW X6 offers unique features and performance ability in a combination unmatched by any other vehicle. The new BMW X6's design combines the sporting elegance of a large BMW Coupe with the powerful presence of a BMW X model.

The BMW X6 comes as standard with BMW's intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive technology with electronic control for variable distribution of drive power between the front and rear axles, consistently adjusted to driving conditions at all times and in all situations.

As with the Range Rover coupe thingy, I see little point. And this one doesn't even look good.

damn them and these fucking crossovers, you either need a suv or you dont, which most people dont.

The rear view is one my favorites to win the "worst design 2007"-award 

..but I really love the front

If I see the front I love it, but if I see the back I just hate it..

[pzgren]

hmm.. this car looks very strange to me.  i don't like it yet

The handling is rumored to be exceptional for such a car... Doesn´t look to good though 

[goodduck]

weve been hearing about this abomination for some time now, but i guess its finally official. i live in an area where people eat this shit up. im sure ill see one of these on the road this summer. 

this car really fucks up the brand in my eyes, what a shame.

[brembo]

oh so this thread contained another useless suv car thingy, and BMW keeps going with ugly designs it seems....

That's like saying "the handling is exceptional for a bus" - it's still far from a sportscar or a sports-saloon. Why not just get a proper car instead of this. I'm sure it'll sell out straight away, but it's stupid.

Hope it has the same success as the Mercs R-Klasse...
