I don't even like SUV/crossovers, but this does look pretty sharp.

I'm liking it. The lack of B/C pillars is classy. I wish that interior were production. That is a sexy interor right there.

I usually go against the wind because I thougt the 5,6 and 7 looked good. The X6 just doesn't cut it. Maybe it looks better in person

XUV's are definitely a "hate it or love it" concept... I'm glad some people don't like crossovers, and hate the FX. I like it and it out performs most cars on the road... (yes, I said cars not SUV's). NOT to mention there are less of what I own on the road. I hate cars that you see everywhere...

Take one station wagon, remove large amounts of rear headroom and overall cargo room, jack up its center of gravity and fit big heavy wheels and tires.

Result? Heavy, lame crossover creations like that one.

So stupid it makes me want to kick MYSELF in the balls.

go ahead

all you haters can say whatever you want... but obviously, you guys aren't very good at marketing cuz apparently there's a demand for XUV's, otherwise... why are all these car companies jumping on the band wagon?

Because they still want to make gas-chugging SUVs, and the gas crunch says otherwise. So they scale the down for people who lack the sense to buy a hatchback/wagon/minivan that's NOT on stilts.

Btw, I was at the comment at the slammed Infiniti FX that said it looked like a fat Mazda3. Couldn't be truer.

I completely agree with you. The crossover market is booming and people are willing to pay more to have a bold suv.Just like is300eater said, the FX is a love or hate thing. I, for one, think it's one of the best designs out to date...It's whatever fits your boat, but you can't deny there is a market for it.

P.S If you knew how many people out there hated suvs because they're big and polluting you would be amazed...Then again, those who buy them and use them know truly their utility.

Take it easy. What, do you already own one of these things?

I didn't say there was no market for XUV's, I just hate the concept when it turns out cars that are overly heavy and cut down interior room.....like the BMW pictured above. Residuals will tell the real story if they are fad or for real. Mercedes van X-over R-class is hardly flying off of the shelves right now.

Fair enough. I don't own one and dont' plan to anytime soon. As for the BMW above, I understand what you mean.
