Which would you get f15 or f16

I'm thing of getting either a f15 or f16 but I can't make up my mind? I don't really care about the cargo space? Need help

Do you have kids? If you don't need the cargo space or have no kids, why not F16.

What's the big problem that you need help from strangers on if you know the significant different is cargo space? Get what you want.

if you don't need cargo space or 3rd row i see no reason to get f15 unless you find f16 ugly.

They are essentially the same vehicle with the exception of the styling. So why ask anybody else? Get what you want. But since you asked, I think the X6 looks hideous. So get the X5. I didn't get an suv for it's styling, I got it for it's utility, but like you, don't really need that much cargo space, so I guess I could have got an X6, but I just couldn't do it. It would hurt my eyes every time I looked at it. I got the X5 because it has most of the utility of an suv, yet goes faster and handles better than most cars. And it looks better than an X6. But that's just my opinion. There are a million opinions. That's why cars like Pontiac Azteks got built and somebody actually bought them. People actually looked at them on the lot and said, "Yup, that's what I want". God bless 'em. Who can explain why people like what they like. Get what you want.

the selling aspect is also another point...should you decide to sell it at a point, an X5 would sell relatively faster than an X6...
The X6 demands its own niche clients...X5 is a more rounded SUV.

From what I noticed, most people just trade their cars in with the next car dealer they are planning to get out of convenience or sell to places like CarMax etc. But your point is valid for people who do sell privately.

I went X5 to F16 X6. Yep less space, but X5 is family man X6 is just plain show-off! Guess that's why I got one.

Yes... But you'll hear from the dealer "these things sit on the lot because there's such a limited market...". And that's how they'll try to get you. I agree that X5 has a better resale (no proof... Just an opinion).

I like both! F16 is indeed more exclusive, there is just much less of them on the road, but I do need the cargo unfortunately.

I must be one of the few oddballs who actually is attracted to the X6. It would be a serious contender for my next car. Don't even get me started on the X6M!

I like the F15 more but wouldn't mind the F16 either. I hated the last gen X6 but this current one is much much nicer. I need the cargo space so X5 for me...

I personally like them both. But the wife hates the X6 and the cargo space on the X6 would restrict its use as a family car.

The f16 does look aggressive depending on the angle you look at it. I sat in the back and my head almost touched the roof. Not that I would be sitting in the back anyhow but my immediate family are all over 6'2ft. I ended up getting the x5 msport even though I don't really need the cargo space. The fact of the x6 being more expensive while losing half the cargo space lost my interest. Carbon/Black msport with/tint and the 20inch 469m?MPPK was a perfect choice for me.
