Neither X6 nor X4 are a family car IMO...as much as they are roomy in the front seats, they are crampy in the rear seats,...our X3 had more room at the back than the X6...so they will remain a sporty car for most couples...not saying no family buys them...just that if you are considering space for your kids, then X5 and X3 are still the way to go...
I always enjoy seeing a X6 in the street though...i think it is exceptionally unique and sexy...

Same with me - I absolutely loved it when it first came out and was defending it when others said it was ugly and also thought the X5 looked boring compared to it but when time came to choose between it and the X5 (5 yrs. later) I easily chose the X5 because the rear seats in the X6 feel almost like sitting in a normal car to me (i.e. they feel quite low) and I thought it would be more of fun higher feeling ride for my little kids than having the smaller windows and quite dark surrounds of the X6.
Still love the look of it but do wonder more these days what the point is. Still I'd get one to go with the X5 if I could though !
As usual with me another dig at the new x5 - this new x6 looks good from what I can see - thankfully they don't seem to have done their best to ruin its good points.
