These excellent spy pics, courtesy of KGP Photography & Winding Road, reveal for the first time the shape of the long rumoured BMW X6. I guess your first question is what exactly the X6 is. The answer is a sporty mid-sized crossover vehicle based on the 2007 X5, or if you preffer, BMW�s way to differentiate itself from the Mercedes CLS. Despite the camouflage it�s clear that the X6�s body will use coupe inspired elements such as the steeply raked windshield and slopped roof-line along with SUV characteristics like the raised ground clearance and the �chunky� front part.
While snooping around in an attempt to find some �official� info on the X6, I stumbled upon an apocalyptic interview that Norbert Reithofer, BMW's new CEO gave to Automotivenews just a few days ago. Check out the part referring to BMW�s future crossover plans bellow:
- AN: �Are you reconsidering what kind of crossover you will build in the
- Norbert Reithofer, BMW CEO: �We have two vehicles in mind. The first is a so-called SAV coupe. We saw the car already. It's the first product. We know clearly in our minds what we want in 2008.The second product is between a sedan and an SAV. We said we will not call it a crossover but a BMW interpretation of a roomy car concept, with a lot of functionality and a lot of luxury. We did not look at the Mercedes R class. We said it is wrong to follow others.�
