The X5, and X6 are very good looking trucks. I would be more worried if they made it look like a Q7 which resembles a semi.

"Meh, IMHO it is far better looking than Merc's R-class, which it kinda competes with."

The R class is not an SUV its a crossover like the 5gt...Mercedes anounced a few weeks ago they would make an X6 rival also, based on the ML.

I am sure it will try to resemble and elevated A7. Guess they could name it a Q6. Audi, always trying to follow BMW...

Audi always trying to follow BMW? How about BMW implementing all-wheel drive, direct injection and turbocharging after Audi had been using those technologies for years?

BMW had turbo in 2002 early 1970s and in their 745, so Turbos have been used by BMW before Audi started out. All Wheel drive BMW started after Audi around 1987 verses 1980.
BMW had xenon first of all car manufactors, And we could go on, how about airbags, BMW came before Audi who made this weird proconten system.
Stop bashing enjoy the cars and the progress.
