I said middle of the road because both Acura and Nissaniti offer more expensive cars. It would be useless frankly, to compare the Cayenne to this waste of metal, it is an accomplished off roader and the ML has much more space and a properly smile inducing V8 growl (although its perf numbers are a bit poor).

The Nissan Maxima might be an good car but i dont know where it fits in all of this unless you are telling me that all Japanese saloons should be as slow as it is.

Thanks.
So based on what you are saying, the X6M is not a true "M" because it is faster than it's competition: M63 & Cayenne Turbo? It is also faster around corners than them too...?

Dude, the X6M is not for you, don't worry about it. If BMW sells lots of X5Ms & X6Ms it just means they can also keep building M3s & M5s & M6s and whatever else they want...where is the harm?

What is with people getting their panities in a twist about this car?
