Does no one understand the fact that since the car has already been released, it would atract less attetnion to leave it un covered?

Maybe they want the attention , seems not many people like the design.

^ I thought they sold out of the entire first year's production? I'm fair certain people like the design, but hate the fact it's a world-destroying SUV. Although this option is bound to improve the X6's stature, I believe hybrids are incredibly stupid.

I've already seen that, but thanks for playing. I should clarify: from a green perspective, hybrids are useless -- in fact, I would argue they're environmentally hazardous. Performance-wise, there is some benefit to hybrid drive, granted, but none that compensate for the additional complexity and weight. They are not offering the X6 ActiveHybrid as a performance enhancement; it is a fuel economy-minded option.

^So you're saying if Ferrari, which usually does cars which are pretty much useless anyway, decides to do useless hybrids you actually get a car that is... less useless!?

since bmw is doing hot weather testing in death valley, as shown in the pix, the production stage is not too far out... 6 months or so.. if bmw really wants to go ahead... but the x6 is not really the car to bundle with a hybrid... too much weight, to costly base... the 1er with the 120i as hybrid, or the 120d with hybrid, that would sell well!!!

If you had an engineering package that adds a 20% fuel economy improvement wouldn't you use it on the vehicle that needs the improvement the most?

Coupling this ugly behemoth with a hybrid engine kinda defeats the prupose no?

The X6 is a brilliant vehicle. If there was a hybrid vehicle out there I would buy, it would be this one. The design is a radical, yet welcome change. Everyone has these preconceived notions of how a car should look and feel, and I must say, the X6 is a joy.
