On the other hand, I've been bitching about how the X6 would be a tolerable car if it wasn't jacked up and donked, and here it is in all its tolerable mediocrity.
I don't hate it.

Seriously, this car does not look that bad. I will wait until I see it in the metal, in a few different colors before deciding for sure.

The first of its kind, apparently.
I'm not sure that statement holds up to intense scrutiny.

But, unless it has some hitherto undreamt of hovercraft option, then of course you're right.

Reminds me of the Rover SD1/3500...
Also, not sure what's going on with the rear quarter lights, the whole glazing arrangement there needs looking at.
Other than that, looks as though it will appeal to the conservative money that actually buys these things new.
And seems like it might be more impressive in the metal, as these things often are.

Since then, I've realized what an amazing feat it must have been to keep it running long enough for a cross continent trip.

Reminds me of my last girlfriend.
Ow, that was mean.

It was meant to be a literal styling reference, not an actual segment war...unless the segment is a newly created "Dachshund-like vehicle pinching a loaf."

Agreed. Since nothing about the X-6 is good one can surmise that an emulator of said vehicle can be just as bad, if not worse.
Or something like that.

Ash, I think this is for Dodge Magnum fans who "don't buy domestic" I think. I would much rather go Audi S6 Avant. No, I am not receiving payments from Scott Keogh and company.

You do know that I'm planning on buying a V70R and holding it for my daughters, right? I see so many driven by older folks up in my neck of the woods...so I have faith that I will be able to buy a low-mileage "adult driven" example in the next few years.
I ran a 850 non-turbo wagon, manual trans, in the mid nineties in NYC. I loved that thing, but you had to downshift to 4th on some of the steeper inclines on 78 westbound. I trust that twice the hp in the V70R version will negate the need to do so.
Any idea of price points on cherry V70Rs?

For some reason, I can't even picture that car in my head. Though I did see a new 6 sedan on the road today and thought "That's not bad looking..."
