Not Just Weird; Powerfully Weird
Does your crossover have launch control? Does it, like the 2010 BMW X6 M, have 555 horsepower? Does it, during this "worldwide crisis," have the ability to "pick up your spirits," as one BMW official says?
Do you know why? Because according to BMW, the company's 2010 X6 M is the first and only sports-car SAV. "If there's no competitor, then you cannot follow anyone," said Dr. Kay Segler, president of BMW M GmbH. Wait...what?
BMW has always had a knack for describing its crossovers in a curiously Bill Clintonian fashion. The X5 is not an SUV but instead an SAV (Sport Activity Vehicle). And the X6 is, well, no one is quite sure what the X6 is. So it follows then, that the 550-hp hp Porsche Cayenne Turbo S and the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG are not competitors for the X6 M.
OK, we acknowledge that the 2010 BMW X6 M is a wildly unusual thing. First, because it is an X6. And second, because it's an X6 that's also an M-car. This is a vehicle that if you believe what you read on the Internet, will dilute the M brand and bring shame on the house of BMW. It's worth noting that these were the same things said of the X5 when it was introduced.
