Future BMW SAV's revealed and one is a hybrid?
Here is what Automobile Magazine is reporting...

"Upcoming engines-A hybrid drivetrain developed with General Motors and Daimler Chrysler, a turbocharged V-8 good for more than 400hp, and a 300-hp, state of the art twin-turbo diesel. Not to mention the X6 four seat coupe starting in early 2008."

Can't wait to drive the diesel!

Hypothetically, would you rather drive a hybrid X5 or a diesel Lexus RX?

Ummmm...nope. I literally meant good ol fashioned used Canola oil from the back of your local greasy spoon.

Insinuating that if Lexus jumped on that hippie bandwagon and "revolutionized" running a V8 on old fried chicken grease whether you would still choose the Lexus over the alternative?

Pains me to have to flesh that beauty of a friendly joke out. :)

lexus do make diesels, the IS220d. and it is one unrefined motor, bmw's and audi's are better.
but hybrid X5 or RX diesel? well, i'd have to say, living in a city, a hybrid X5. now if i had a long commute on motorways, diesel RX.

How crude for a luxury brand.

The car in the pic looks great.
Not too many creases (only one, thank god), beautifully proportioned, nice big wheels and great rims - I like it!

Can we throw Lexus1 off a bridge?

He is clearly no older than 7 years old, and is making wild claims that Lexus invented the Hybrid, Lexus will never use diesel etc.

Ban him, if not for his stupidity, then for his insistance on using Caps Lock.

BMW didn't design that, that's an artists rendering trying to guess what BMW is doing. No one has any idea what the X6 is going to look like except the folks working on it. Hopefully it looks nothing like that and looks more like the stretched four door 6-series CGIs that have been floating around for over a year. Those looked pretty sweet.

huu76,

I have a strong feeling your comments linking the quality of European car engineering to their education is more a result of your strong anti-European prejudice, rather than any factual evidence that the technology and engineering aspects of European vehicles are below Japanese and American standards.

For one, I always believed that while you don't really know much about cars in general, you did have an intelligent world view and so some respect could be thrown your way. Now however, I see that your unfounded prejudice has somewhat tainted your credibility.

Maybe you have this strange view that while the Japanese are working away in laboratories with white coats, refining the next generation of Lexus cars, the Europeans are sitting outside smoking and playing darts, hoping to finish testing their new engine sometime next week.

I can assure you the engineering and development processes for European-manufactured cars is very very high, and to speculate otherwise is plain ignorant.

I don't know how much ground clearance your Jeep has, but it seems that you have a 'higher than thou' attitude.

And by the way, sorry for bringing this thread somewhat back to the topic of cars, we all know how out of his depth huu76 is when it comes to the subject.

What is this non-sense Huu_7_months_old ?!

Lexus better than the germans, don't make me laugh.

The Lexuses we have here are the IS220d, and that's pretty much it.
And it's been beatten on just about every level by its german counter parts (performance, fuel efficiency, emissions, space, safety, handling etc. ).

Proof? I don't see it?

I also believe that your dislike for BMW design has somehow made you think that all European cars are bad.

Seeing as you love American cars so much, here a few words that might make you all jolly and patriotic:

Push-rod, 4-speed Auto, leaf-springs, cast-iron, cup-holders, plastic, retro, 18mpg, backwards, desperate, falling market share, a world-renowned motoring journalist dedicating a whole story on Why American Cars Are Bad, roll-overs, lack of product development...etc.

Makes you feel good inside, doesn't it?
