Why did they have to make 4wd in the first place.
This strange looking car can never compete with the Toureq or Landrover.
Yes, I believe that is a BMW, for real.

It's not meant to compete with the Touareg or the LR2 (if that's the car you're referring to), that's the X5's job. The X6 is meant to steal buyers away from the such cars as the Cayenne. These buyers are looking for an even sportier SUV, they put performance before versatility and practicality (hence the lack of a fifth seat and the sloped roof) but still want the seating position, ride height and visibility of an SUV.

And for what it's worth I think the car is gorgeous.

I'm really gonna miss that panoramic roof.
