Just walking the Dog, mind away somewhere else and happened across a black X6, sun glinting seductively off it and as my mind was a blank canvas at that point, free of prejudice I found myself liking it, I feel a bit dirty now.

I came to and realised, I noticed it was parked on the pavement, on a corner, on double yellows for the shops because I don't think people in that kind of car give a toss about such things.

Funny really, and a cool story bro but interested to see whether people think the same as me, seems to be driven pretty badly and is a bit of an ugly brute but briefly I actually found myself warming to it, was walking back from the walk an a bloke of about 45 in a Pink Lacoste t-shirt got in it and hoofed it off, looked pretty quick but a busy shopping street is probably not the place.

I can see you've posed a genuine question Jacko. I'm in the "kill it with fire" camp, but I'm sure there are cars I have a soft spot for that most PHers hate.

I like the X6 for my sins, I only know one person who owns one and he is the most down to earth, honest, harding working yorkshire lad you could ever hope to meet.

goes off to scan the classifieds for a nice 40d model, before they put the new classifieds back up again!

Calm down, it was a joke, at least I took it as such.

Oddly I did catch a particular rear three quarter view of one at night as I overtook it on Sunday and found myself thinking it looked very purposeful....then a split second later, as I carried on past, it returned to being a hilarious looking thing. Still, at least it has one aspect where it looks good.

I like them. they look like a 2010 car designed in the 1950s.

Very big and ugly though. The car equivalent of this.

I love the X6. cloud9

If I were to spend £30,000 on a SUV, I would buy a dark red car with cream leather. yum

Seriously are you blind. It starts well with the first sentence but after that it goes to troll land. The OP might as well have said "Why are BMW X6's always driven by drug dealing roid abusers who cant park and drive through towns at 100MPH"

The only reason for the remainder of the post is to provoke an argument about said cars and drivers of them which by definition is trolling. I also like the X6 in a strange kind of way and surely a better way to ask for opionions about them would have been to say "I really like the X6 but I'm worried about the percieved image"

Really? Isn't picking car in order to annoy other people the kind of thing that no-one over the age of six should consider? hehe
