Looks good, at least. I just hate how conceited BMW has become, pretending they came up with this PAS concept - the Malibu Maxx, the Signum and the Vel Satis all featured the same shape and purpose, and giving it X6 looks won't make it any different.
Still, looks good - at least better than most BMWs as for the late.

Smells like a chop... looks shorter compared to the PAS in the spy photos.

I agree!the real one look's longer, and the rear door handle looks a little misplaced.

The question is why would I choose this over the practical X5. I saw that video and everything. If I wanted to transport people in a first class manner - I would have gone for the 7 Series. Is the market really big enough for this "mix" car? This picture just looks like an ordinary 4x4 to me - perhaps just like an X6. It could even steal sales from BMW's own products like X6 and X5 and 5 touring.... hope BMW did their homework

Unlike BMW's X-models, the PAS is not a crossover SUV, it seems to be a long wheelbase tall-hatch version of the 5-series.

WTF WTF WTF. If this is what it's really going to look like (highly doubt), just give me a Venza for half the price. This 'low res image' is a stretched out X6... I hope.

I have been a big BMW fan for years and I wonder what direction is this vehicle really taking them. What market share are they aiming for that the X5 or X6 can't handle. Initially it was supposed to compete with the Mercedes people mover but it doesn't appear to offer seating for seven or even enhanced cargo capacity over their existing models. So what is the point unless they are veering away from wagons as a whole due to there lack of sales here in the U.S.

I think Toyota & BMW are sharing their design philosophy. Looks like the new Toyota Venza!

BMW cars look so much sportier than the Toyota, that's not sharing design philosophy. Besides, the concept is not even close!

This car is too big to be decent ride not because of being less green than it is politically correct in our days but because the sense of proportions is loosers one.

At second glance it does look a lot like the Venza but not with it's sporty character. I have heard that BMW have had to make a lot of cuts in the quality of materials this time around and that inside the company there is not a lot of support for this car. Curious to see the finished product. Was the R-Class that successsful?

Stop sucking out of your thumb - what non-sense are you talking about with cutting quality and stuff like taht. Did you not see the video by BMW, they want to make this more luxurious than the 7!

Total chop. All these look different than those of the test mule pics we have all seen: door handle placement, door sill hight, greenhouse height. Besides that, the "shadow" underneath the car appears fake. I could be wrong - but I hope I am not. The rear in the mock-up looks too thick. I guess we will know tomorrow...
