Car and Driver reviews the X6 M

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...6_m_-road_test

Highs: 555 horsepower, 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, SUV-like command of the road.

Lows: Choppy ride, Aztek-like shape, accommodates four folks only.

The Verdict: An irrational SUV that begins feeling fairly rational at about 130 mph.

The ride part is what I'm interested in, I wish they had compared it to normal X6.
I might like more horsepower but not harsh ride, being able to push button when I want tighter suspension works for me.

I came a X an Aztek & took a foto.
Ever since BMW launched X6 every now & then I'd come a X someone calling it a "modified" or "look alike" to the Aztek.
Well here is a foto of one & I think all those people are seriously myopic & in urgent need of eye examination. Or too ignorant to comment on the subject.
If these people see the difference between a Maserati, Ferrari & Lambo, then what's wrong w/ their eyesight?? they can't see the Aztek /X6 difference??
Yes X6 has lots of cons & another one is the turbos heats up the vented air so much in addition to hot summer weather that it
is necessary to use A/C all the time.
But those who lay down after tax $$ 's to buy anything obviously thinks the pros outweigh the cons.
Is BMW discontinuing their x6 model?? No! they'r making another variation, the X6M! So obviously they know there's still a market beyond the Cayennes, Range Rovers, FX's, ml6.3 amg's
So please don't complain that the X6 is kind a like the Aztek..
'cause that's like saying you don't like apples because it's not an orange! Viva la difference!

The reason I stopped subscribing to CD was their reviews were only favorable to the car makers give them lots of $.
