Each to their own,I think it looks good very aggressive,
I think it looks like it'll be driven by people who are quite aggressive, if that's the same thing?
Thats like saying people who drive a c63 black series are aggressive. Just because a car looks aggressive does'nt mean the owner is.
I've only seen a handful of c63's on the road and they were all being driven aggressively at the time!

You don't buy a car like that to pootle round in laugh

I wonder if this style will be the next move for the X6 and GLE?

It looks worse that the BMW X6 - something I didn't think was possible.
yes

Tbh, I'm now finding myself looking back at the original X5 thinking it was actually quite restrained and nice (if possible!) compared to some of the dross being churned out today.

Forgive me - why does this turd use the 5.5TT V8 and the new C -AMG use the 4.0?

Mercedes is disappearing up it's own arse. BMW have done it, Audi have done it and Merc now. Jaguar next, unfortunately.

Bloody awful. Why people want fast tanks is beyond me...
The X6 = Very popular in Eastern Europe and Russia.

Not that it answers your question but it gives you an idea.

Epic timing from Merc considering the current problems there, I bet the product team are gutted.

Apparently most X6's are sold in the US. In total, BMW has sold 260,000 of 'em so far.

hey Shanks, I can believe that. I think the 260,000 is total global production. I wonder how much they contribute to global warming.

Now that I like (though it could do with some proper wheels on it).

Coupe means 2 doors. Why is it called a coupe?
There have been 4 door coupes - Rover started it with the P5 coupe in the 60s. The rear roofline was different to the P5 saloon.

BMW and Merc do it today.
