Let's keep things in perspective here, people. At the 100th World Touring Car Championship race in Portugal on Sunday, the pace car was a Lada Priora. It's not just a pace car, it's also a penalty box!
I really hate how everyone calls the X6 pointless. It's the perfect vehicle if you want a really expensive car, and prefer a hatchback, but really like to sit high like in an SUV, and you really hate carrying cargo, but also dodn't want room for any more than 4 people. Now who thinks it's pointless?
@Clockwork: Actually... it kinda makes sense. Lots of motorcycle guys like to go fast, but at the same time need to haul their bike around. This can (I think?) do both tasks. I don't think the new M3 is quite so capable a tower as this will be.
And with handling that's better than a truck, I know it's going to sell well. Maybe not to who I'm describing, but it's a BMW M, it's going to sell.
@pauljones: ...I don't. I just couldn't think of a clever response. Can you explain to me the joke I just made?
I started to think about it too literally, so all I can think of is percentage power shift to the rear wheels being enough to heft it up, while the front wheels still spin.
Damn. You have to have developed some killer instincts along the way, because saves like that don't just happen by accident, and there isn't really any way to prepare yourself for them or practice. I'm totally in awe of people who do things that you don't usually get a second chance at if they screw up the first time, and this guy is no exception.
Usually when you see a high-speed case of the wiggles, you're about to watch someone eat street. Not this guy. Fantastic instincts at work, watch and learn.

Actually, F1 is mostly as good as dead, so I will watch MotoGP full time anyways.

It's obvious that it's going to do awesome wheelstands.

And I thought about, and I finally get it. Nice play.

Think about it. And think about Firestones.
