Auto Motor und Sport is notorius for misinformation.

Which in this case could be a very good thing

I think it's just a bad chop. It looks like an old 3 series coupe stretched to meet the height of an X5 and the front of an X5 grafted on. No big deal actually.

EXACTLY what I thought! It's an M3 body- check the mirrors.

This is further proof that BMW have seriously lost the plot.

After having had a drive through the VIP car park under FC Porto stadium yesterday, I highly agree with you. The amount of high-spec, damn-ugly SUV's like Cayenne, X5, X3, Q7, Touareg and others (without a sign of ever having hit a rought terrain), leads me to conclude this would be a best-seller.

And recycling all that steel would be nice too. Imagine how many coke can's you could do with an average dutch family's garage.

I thought that BMW would like to make X6...and it should be something like that...well...tou'll never know...but I think that it isn't very useable...Well..I havent never drived one like that

[henk4]

don;t expect the X5 Coupe to be available before 2010. Until then, enjoy its absence

Well I highly doubt there's a market for a 2 door large SUV. People buy SUV's because they don't want a minivan (or just want to guzzle gas ). If they were to produce it, they would effectively be creating a new segment (unless Audi produces a Q7 coupe). People like the (semi) versatility and the looks of an SUV. Making it a 2 door would effectively be answering a question no one asked.

Oh, no... no-no-no. Tragically, enough, that question has been asked before, and the answer from one manufacturer was a resounding "What was the question again?"

Dig on this little 2-door performance ute' why don't ya? Behold the Suzuki X-90. This thing was briefly the soup sandwich du'jour of the automotive world. It made no sense, had awful handling and little off-road capability, and, in this case, was painted purple.

I think it looks really good.
