judging by the price jump on the GM trucks....Im pretty sure the price on this car will be outrageous

First it was VW, MB, Porsche, Hyundai, and now BMW copying Lexus and Toyota in making hybrid.

I thought the German fanboi said hydrid is for girls? I guess when gas at the pump is $5 to $10 gallon, depend on where you live in the world, it not a bad ideas after all ha...!

ha...ha..ha...

Hybrid in Prius form may be for girls but not an X6. Who's laughing now.

sure, 20% SOUNDS like the GS450h gain. Unfortunately it ISN'T the GS450h gain, since it only gets 1mpg better in real world tests than the 535i that outperforms it. And you lose half the trunk.

Awesome -- same price, same economy, lower performance, half the space. Sounds like a winner to me!

this hilarious for one thing.......I have yet to see a test where those Lexus hybrid cars or even the Prius actually get the epa ratings they are claimed....its always a small-large amount less....not to mention a gain of 3 "epa rated" miles in the city versus the BMW isnt much of a gain given the BMW 535i isnt a hybrid and gets better highway miles. Add in fact the 535i will outperform the V8 GS with a 6cylinder, will outhandle the GS, actually has steering feedback, while not losing any of its trunk space for a supposed superior technology and it boils down to the GSh makes no sense at all to buy......less performance, less cargo capacity, less epa ratings, more money, and than you can really see whos offering less for more.......about the hybrid thing its not a new technology it has been around for decades....and when a Jetta TDI can get better mileage than a Prius I think diesel certainly has its advantages....http://www.edmunds.com/advice/fueleconomy/articles/126370/article.html

you know. instead of trusting any test result, a more reliable and easily accessible way is just go ahead and ask hybrid users.

i have never owned a hybrid car in my life (yet), but i never doubt their fuel efficiency because all my co-worker who owned one kept tell me how much they love their cars.

people who buy most cars and keep them....love them..whats your point...should I go and by a Ram SRT10 Crewcab because the guy who owns told me he loves it...or should I use a credible source.......some people make fall for anything and than there was marketing hype..loving a car has nothing to do with test results, test show the objective not the subjective...but thanks for the useless comment

In the real world, where theres traffic - the 450H gets even better mileage.

LMAO!!!! i assumed you would totally dodge the comparison of the 535i and GS450h and shoot straight for this rediculous banter about prices of fuel.....because my point still remains the GSh makes no sense...and neither can you prove otherwise....3mpg in the city for a slower, less practical, lack luster handling, and mediocre car that fails to be a class leader at anything......about the Jetta TDI vs the Prius it still has proven to get more miles on a tank than the prius in many conditions....and when Toyota/Lexus can find a way to include performance in these SO CALLED performance Hybrids without falling short on performance and fuel economy maybe they we will be taken serious but when a 300hp twin turbo 6 with a 5.0 second 60 time can get better highway miles, and lose only 3mpg in the city to a Lexus Hybrid I think next generation they should go alot further on a delivering on the 2 things they failed to bring...PERFORMANCE AND FUEL ECONOMY...
