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...
Interesting stats on the interior

With the larger front leg room in the X3 and the front seat more forward, I can see where the X3 can definitely have more rear legroom than the X6.

The X6 has more trunk space though which I like.

My 3yo regularly kicks the back of my seat when she's in the X6M, but then again she helps me wash the car so it evens out

Very interesting stat you shared doug. I had never thought the X6 would actually be smaller in terms of rear space than the X3. I always thought X3 was relatively roomier...
I also think since X6 is essentially a larger vehicle compared to the X3, the crampiness of the rear makes it look even more smaller than X3 ...
Having said all this...the X6 still turns my head and I think it is one of the sexiest vehicles in the market...I think me and my wife agreed that we enjoy watching it passby more than we would want to own it..

So the old X5 is 'smaller' than the new X3? How does the F15 measure up?
