LOTS of trolls in here with typical "looks like a Pontiac Aztec" and "still ugly" comments, very original
BMW did not make this to be a practical car, its a "style" car, its for people who want a SUV and don't need the space of the X5 and have the cash to spend on unpractical things. What is the point of the M3 or coupes, why doesn't everyone just buy a $25K car with 4 doors? This car sells great all over the world and BMW will continue to make it for a long time.
-It looks nothing like an Aztec
-It is practical for a niche group of people
-Some people love how it looks, some people hate it, just like art
-By making cars like this that are profitable it helps BMW develop new technologies and make all their cars better.
-Buy what you like and don't hate on people who like things different than you do.
