BMW Called the X6 a Sport Ut

For kicks and giggles I decided to do a side-by-side comparison between a 335i xDrive Coupe and a X6. After all, they're both coupes, right. Check out the Snipe image from the comparison.

Shouldn't they have said Sport Utility Coupe?

Don't hate me just getting a laugh.

Yeah, it's good for a laugh. Looks like BMW may be a little confused.

I find it interesting reading here some refere to there x6 as a "truck". I know it large and "quite" heavy. It's also wrestling with the SUV stigma most reviewer want to place on it. I wouldn't mind putting a receiver on it for light towing or a bike rack. But I hadn't though it as a truck.

+1

Most magazines tried to compare the X6 to SUVs at first since they either didn't understand what BMW meant with SAC or they just couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that the X6 really ISN'T an SUV but rather a higher riding Coupe!
