The circle has been closed - kind of.
After flirtations withthe M3 and regular 3-series, iwenttothe launch of the 7-series and rediscovered my affection for......the X6
Yes, that quirky shape but glued-to-the-road sport ute coupe that has galvanized the automotive press into strong reactions (check our archives).
So, I 've started a series of features on the X6 under the banner "X6-tensial" (get it?) We begin witht this one form autoblog.com, which is a basic descriotion of th e then concept X6 by fomrer design head of BMW , Chris Bangle.
The BMW X6 production concept CUV blends the looks and driving dynamics that aficionados expect with the high seating position and extra cargo space of a crossover. The X6 appears to be more of a fashion statement than it is a fully functioning "Sport Activity Vehicle," as that steeply raked butt dooesn't look like it can hold too many golf bags inside.
One look at the X6 reveal comments shows how polarizing the big utility "coupe" is, but the video of the X6 after the jump makes the concept look like a world-beater. Chris Bangle and his design team give us a peek at the new sports crossover, as well as the thinking behind BMW's next big idea. Take a look after the jump.
Other upcpming X6 features will have artists' impressions (our "X6-vision") as well as J'can owner testimonials. Stay tuned
