i think that theres alot to be said for the fact that, most of North American Chevys and Fords are not sold far overseas - perhaps they don't import Euro Fords and Opels because they think they'll have to raise the quality of the American range to match the European
Andy agree with you X6 is but ugly, never seen something so yuk!!
