You can call it pointless and all sorts of bad names. But it WILL sell like hot cakes. It's targeted at people who want the biggest and the most in vogue car there is. It doesn't need to be a usefull addition to the lineup. Look at the CLS. Is that really a usefull addition to the lineup ? No it isn't but it sure sells a lot. And there are countless other examples.
PS: I'm not sure if I like it or not, I need to see it in the metal. Even though I'd never consider an SUV (or something close to an SUV).

it is a useful addition to MB line-up since MB lacked of a sporty sedan, something connected to the MB's DNA and that BMW for example didn't need since it produces sporty cars. i find the CLS not exactly useful (to say the truth, very few kind of cars are useful) but it's something you could "need", a comfortable sedan to move your family and a sort of GT for some moments of driving pleasure. this isn't connected to the kind of stupid people who actually buy it.
so, as an enthusiast, even if one day i could say that i like the X6 or that it is well engineered, up to now i cannot say it has some kind of purpose, attitude, or whatever.
its only point is to sell, but it's about business, not engineering or even driving passion.

well, you know how i said i see them all the time? well i got behind a guy today in a silver grey one. i drove behind him for maybe 20 mins on a 2 lane road. after he saw me checking out the car and saw what i drove, he decided to gun it off a stop sign. dear god, it sounds incredible. its a throaty growl. even when its just cruising, it has an extremely subtle.....throat to it. of course, it still had all the emblems and a couple body lines covered, but i still think its a great looking car
I found about 50 more pictures of the X6, but after the last batch I uploaded and nearly comited suicide during with all the processing that needed to be done before you even begin uploading. I think I'll leave it for someone else to post
