I do not agree with that at all- it is faster and can skip shift. I do not think it has received a bad review yet. Also worth noting is that the software in the X6 and the GT will be different. In the GT put it in "sport" for a closer comparison. I have logged a significant amount of miles with it and was very impressed- and I am a third pedal snob!

Most sales people want you to buy now... of course the new one is not that great! The orders will be well before April. The bank should close for 2010 (if not already) and reopen for 2011's very soon.

Here is some more info on the ZF...
