You thought it couldn't get any worse than the X6? Think again.

Just read a thorough review from one of the very few respected Euro magazines - they thought it was a shitload of money for a very meh experience and not all that much of a driver's car.
It looks pretty damn impressive on paper though . . .

....and BMW Design Chief Chris Bangle further added "We drew heavily upon a large number of visual cues from Toyota's monumentally successful Prius to produce what we feel is the future of the sports sedan" He then went on to say "The world market has shown us through its healthy demand for our recently launched X6 model that it still wants a gas guzzling, hatchback, activity-oriented vehicle" Sheer brilliance from a man whose career has been defined by such.
"drawing upon design inspirations from the Prius..."

I was wondering where that quote came from. Seriously though, it would not have surprised me if Bangle said something along those lines.

This is def. hideous; i don't mind the looks so much of the X6 as long as it's been mentioned here. The worst part is the rear visibility from the drivers seat. Honestly, it would have been better if there hadn't even been glass back there.
