We've seen
X6 prototypes before, but these are much closer to home!!These are among the first prototype pictures from the States, but unlike the pictures previously sent - these were shot in the western part of the U.S.
There are a number of performance SUVs on the market, but the X6 is taking a unique styling approach which appears to be the most form-over-function SUV design effort seen to date. The roofline begins arching downward after the B-pillar and continues plunging right to the X6's rising waistline. As a result, second-row headroom and rear cargo volume are both severely compromised. The new
X6 will be longer and lower than the new
X5 , but this crossover will seat only four. What the sporty X6 loses in seating, it will gain in performance. Expect it to arrive sometime during the 2008 calendar year.
