what's the meaning of the mercedes cls? it's just a s class with smaller interior space......the x6 is sportier and smaller than the x5...it appeals to younger people!

What the hell is that meant to be?? They can't design, they can't make cars, just remember...bmw were about to bankrupt in 1950's and they asked Mercedes-Benz to help them, unfortunately they didn't, i wish they did.

Once again BMW leads the way with another dynamic vehicle unlike anything else.The X6 is a cracker!! Lets see what Benz comes up with as the will have to do something similar cause they can't help them-selves. Where BMW leads, Benz follows. BMW rules!

RCarvalho,
You trying to say the CLS is not good?? You cheap sports guy, all these coupe style saloons and coupe style jeep's all started from Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz are the first to bring this concept in cars, you cheap people, unbeleivable. Just don't put your comments about Mercedes-Benz, they are too high quality for you cheap people.

This car is so rubbish, it's a V8 4.4 Twin turbo, producing 400BHP AND 450LB, is that it?? Mercedes-Benz don't use much turbochargers, their speaciality is to make more higher powerful engines NATURALLY ASPIRATED. That's where quality shines.

Mercedes-Benz, too bad most Mercedes' are about as dynamic as a brick. Back on topic.... BMW had a a good idea, but took it down the wrong road. I can't see this being a very useful car, and it's no where being a very good looking car...

i agree this car is so ugly ..the back of the car is unacceptable, i cant believe BMW can release the car like this, this car belongs to nowhere,SUV, coupe ?? i dont think so ..its enough for BMW when they have X3 and X5

Hey Hans, let's lower the roof of an X5 and claim its a sports car- this SUV rubbish has gone too far

"This car is so rubbish, it's a V8 4.4 Twin turbo, producing 400BHP AND 450LB, is that it??"
The 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 will be BMW's regular V8 engine which is also reported to appear in the next BMW 5-series and possibly also in the next 7-series. (550i and 750i?)
As for BMW's real high-performance NATURALLY ASPIRATED powerplants... you might have forgotten BMW''s new 414hp 4.0 liter V8 and 500hp 5.0 liter V10.
"Mercedes-Benz don't use much turbochargers, their speaciality is to make more higher powerful engines NATURALLY ASPIRATED. That's where quality shines."
Merecedes uses large displacement NATURALLY ASPIRATED engines to generate high horsepower, if not they use a Supercharger(Kompressor) or Turbocharger like the S600's V12 engine.
BMW's 5.0 liter V10 makes 500hp, while Mercedes needs a larger 6.2 liter V8 to make 507hp.
Mercedes is not known for making high horsepower per liter engines.

To those dissing this X6, it's entertaining how you have so much to say about text and pictures, you haven't even driven one or seen one in the flesh. You also will never come close to inventing something like this and calling it yours. You are nobody's who think bad mouthing something incredible and new is a way to be hero...well no-one cares and in fact we all think you need to get a life. Have you see outside lately? There are real cars like your Xbox has, but oh yeah you need a licence which you don't have cause you're 12. This BMW rocks, a profitable company that has survived wars and competition and they still lead their segment without needing cheap brands like VW or Skoda to pay the bills. This will earn excellent press, impress owners and make dealers heaps of cash. If you can't beat it with something you've made then enjoy it or don't say anything at all and go back to your chess game. Well done BMW, you once again lead the way.

dicedlions,are you Chris Bangles son or what ??..you should have listened to people feedbacks no matter its possitive or negative,dont try to be smart.!! you see this car is awesome,we see this car is ugly,and if you said BMW is better than VW,Audi,i would have laughed at you so hard for your foolish,it all depends on what models and specs, okie?? next time respect people here

that's a lame answer andy, you have proved nothing here except you don't read other peoples comments at all. sure criticism is required, but wording about the vehicle not "how good every other car is" and "BMW have no idea and are ripping the public off", if you write that here including you andy, you seriously need to get a life...you no doubt would be the sort of person who folks like me who actually own cars like this hate because you'd walk up and tell me all about it after you locked your 1989 Corolla.

BMW's X6 is the second SUV Coupe in the world, after the Korean marque, SsangYong Actyon. Still BMW is growing up in this luxury automobile market.

Not sure whether I would want this over a X5. It's less practical, and if you want a coupe, you really should just get the 6 series. Let's face it, you really can't use an X5 or X6 off-road but you can use the X5 as a practical "estate". I'm struggling to see the point of the X6 though.

This car, like the X5, is just for show. Looks like a winner to me.
