NO way....the VQ engine is amazing, it's just still new....i used to own a yellow 350z (05) before the s2k...it's a very torquey and responsive engine. my mom has a fx but it's stock with sport package. and whether the fx has 2 people or 6 people riding with luggage in the back the car pulls hard!!! The vq engine is in the Altima se-r, 350z, maxima, g35 sedan and coupe, fx35, and m35..

Aesthetically, the BMW X6 reminds me of an article I once read by the noted critic and writer for the New Yorker Pauline Kale; the article was entitled, "The Importance of Being Madonna".
Kale's point was that much of what Madonna did was merely designed to keep her in the public eye because Madonna realized that, once people stopped talking about her (whether good or bad), she would be irrelevant.
This X6 is designed much the same...it is entirely too self-absorbed. Frankly, I do not even think it is particularly attractive. It kind of looks Asian...like it could be from Kia or Hyundai, if the badge were changed. Surely, you will have to admit that its design is not as well resolved as a 3 Series touring or even a 5 Series touring--the latter a car which looks much better as a wagon than as a sedan. I bet its not as space efficient as either model.
What separates the X6 from, say a Toureg, is that the Toureg succeeds in looking classey without really trying. It is effortlessly elegant. If the Toureg is Carey Grant, the X6 is Liberace--both stand out in a crowd, but not necessarily for the right reasons.
I will admit that the X6 is visually unique, but then again, I suspect the designer was trying to make the following statement: "It's better to be despised than forgotten."

***Interesting enough, this is the first BMW for a looong time to get such positive responses all over the net. Yeah its not very practical but I dont think anybody really cares. Its a fashion statement more than anything. And with a possible Twin-Turbo V8, a fashion statement that goes likes to boogie.
