    I would say that it is perfectly designed to travel to the snow, look like a poser and travel home again to the eastern suburbs. When asked why you need a 4wd you can say that you need it for the alpine conditions....
    And it looks so much more stylish than those ugly four wheel drives you see at the school gates.
    /sarcasm off

    No space, no offroad capability, poor onroad handling compared to a road car...
    I read (heard?) a review that said the X6 is the answer to a question nobody asked...

    Did you see the YouTube clip from Top Gear posted above? Wasn't even good in the 2" deep snow.

    Sorry, it's butt ugly. A Defender is far more attractive. I'll take a Defender or D4.

    Top Gear Season 14, Episode 7 (Youtube clip above). Clarkson really bags it.

    I must admit, to me it looks big and ugly. Never mind how it handles. Looks like one of those Ssanyong Musso things.

    I recall seeing this on fifth gear - the reviewer said a good reason to drive an X6 is "so you dont have to look at the outside".
