X6 looks mean
Re: X6 looks mean
I got to see our X5 driving along when my wife picked me up from a mate's house the other night.
It highlighted what huge car it is, seeing it drive along in other traffic.

People buy horsepower but drive torque!
Re: X6 looks mean
Yeah, like the X6, a big car. Looks very imposing in the rear view mirror.
I loved this description which I read in a review when I was researching the car:
"Overall, the X6 has the look of a sinister twin brother for the X5; it’s get-out-of-my-way at the front and see-ya-later at the back. You can love it, you can hate it but it’s impossible to ignore it."

Re: X6 looks mean
Agreed. Not since I had my Evo VI have people visibly swerved out of the way to let me past
Re: X6 looks mean
The X6 does have presence and like you it was only not so long ago I got to see my X5 being driven and I really was impressed and realised what everyone else is always checking out.....LOL
Re: X6 looks mean
Its funny, as I am going from Q7 which is a huge car to X6 i don't see its size as being big. I am guessing the X6 will be as much of a bitch to park though.

I think the width is pretty similar. Top down camera does come in very handy but still not much you can do if the car is nearly as wide as the parking space.

Re: X6 looks mean
There are a number of car parks around here which I know there's no pint in taking the X6 into because the bays are too narrow. Yes you can get the car into them, but then you can't open the doors! Some of the entry/exit ramps are a bit tight too.
Still problem solved - take the Mini Countryman instead..

Ditto, except exchange Countryman for Clubman.

Re: X6 looks mean
I agree the X6 looks super mean, in my eyes not much matches the road presence of a X6, I would love one
