Saw the X6 today.

Saw the X6 in person today at a local BMW dealer, they had it there for the weekend and it is a pre-production model. Smokin' hot! I wasn't sure if the sloping roof line would make sense or if it would actually look good in person but it pulls it off and it does make sense. The aggressive stance reminded me of a wild animal getting ready to pounce. A little criticism would include the lack of headroom for anyone over 5'11 or so in the rear seats and awkward entry/exit in/out the rear doors.

It goes on sale in August or September. It will be built in Spartanburg, and from what I've read they haven't started production yet. Personally, I think BMW will cut Z4 producion in May to re-tool and start building these.

They are using this as the signature car for the Ultimate Drive. I was looking at it and sat in it and am not sure about it. Although that 4.4tt should be quite awesome.

I know this thing has seen some mixed reviews on the looks, it looks pretty cool! I'm interested to see the internet related things they are starting to incorporate inside.

Saw one too in St. Louis showroom. It looks much better in person than the photos. There were two M3's also, and an M3 sedan.

Yeah!
I went to the NY auto show with my friends and they had two there. They were very nice and the stickers were less than I thought they would be.

I think the Pontiac GXP coupe was the hottest looking thing at the show.
