Saw this interesting number on the way to work today (not this actual car but a white one like it). It's a hatchback, which are hugely popular in Europe, not so much here. Strange car, too tall for a car, too short for an SUV, but very aggressive looking. Maybe a replacement for the soon to be phased out 5 Series wagon? I was behind it for quite a while, and I noticed it was completely neutral about absorbing road bumps and irregularities--it never gave any indication of any reaction to them.

I don't know--you tell me. I'm not a BMW expert. (No smart-azzedness intended)

Look a lot alike to me. I'd just never seen one in person before, and it looked a bit 'odd'.

Actually, I like the X6 quite a bit. It's pretty attractive and would make a nice alternative to a Lexus RX.

This thing, on the other hand, :skep:

BMW screams "class" a lot more often that "Corvette" does. I promise you that.
