X6 Showin’ Its Back Side

x6-1

Here is some real hotness headed our way. The BMW X6 sport coupe/CUV/SUV/hatchback thingy. Blurring the lines once again in packaging and classification this vehicle has more ground clearance than a sedan but a lower roof line than a CUV/SUV. These are the first pics showing the sloping roof line toward the rear of the vehicle. I am excited to see this proportion finally make it to the road. We have all seen this style/proportion in school projects for years, I guess those students have gotten jobs.

This certainly isn’t the first vehicle to look like this…anyone remember the old AMC Eagles. Four doors, good ground clearance, 4wd; if only they were still around they would be rollin’ in it. The Dodge Avenger concept from a couple years ago also had a very similar proportion. Too bad the design got squished, twisted, pulled and prodded to become the Caliber. Dodge could have been on the fore front leading the way.

I wonder what company will be following this proportion next?

Thanks for the pics Left Lane News.
