The X6 Is One BMW That Should Have Difficulty Selling Because of Its Odd Looks

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Recently in my online newsletter for my website, usedcars.about.com, I wrote, “For some reason, Porsche hates New England (at least the automotive journalists that work there).” That prompted my editor to write, “Isn’t BMW the ultimate snob manufacturer?” Well, I respectfully disagreed with him because of Porsche’s continued “holier than thou” atti- tude (New England is disdained by the manufacturer because it only sells 1200 of its 34,000 vehi- cles here annually in the U.S.). That strikes me as a bit snobby. Plus, BMW has produced the X6. No manufacturer in its right mind could produce a vehicle this ugly and put on snobbish airs. I don’t call this the X6. I’ve nick- named it the BMW Aztek, after the Pontiac Aztek that was pro- About the only appealing angle of the 2008 BMW X6 is its front fascia. It gives off an aggressive look.
