Not looking good: It's the BMW...

MPowered · July 20th, 2007, 9:32 PM

...Aztek! So this is what BMW came up with to challenge the not-so-popular MB R-Class? The proportions are just so wrong.

What's that supposed to be anyway? Are they inventing a "totally new type of vehicle for the young, sporty, wealthy and fertile driver of today" again? images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

I don't normally comment when pple put up spy shots other pple soon come up with what I would like to say. In this case I am going to make a exception WTF?

A brand Sport Activity Vehicle of course.

They're going to need to add a lot more camo tape before it goes on sale if they want anyone to tolerate it's looks.

Cobol74 · July 20th, 2007, 10:49 PM

Why would any one want to compete with an R Class?

Way to design a turd, BMW! And if it goes into production, the old maxim will ring true: "You idiots will buy anything with a BMW symbol on it".

NAIDANAC A · July 21st, 2007, 12:54 AM

The BMW Aztek.

If it has a BMW badge they will come.

maybe it'll look totally awesome under the camo. images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

jetsetter · July 21st, 2007, 1:52 AM

I like the design.

fbc · July 21st, 2007, 2:06 AM

For shame BMW, for shame.

NecroJoe · July 21st, 2007, 2:08 AM

I think I would really like it if it were anyone but BMW. This isn't a vehicle that should be built by BMW.

What I think they should do: Make a spin-off brand, for fun's sake, let's call the brand Stutgart. They could use this as the brand name for the Mini, this thing, and all sort of "wacky" vehicles. This just doesn't look like what a BMW should.

watto · July 21st, 2007, 2:30 AM

Utterly disgusting.

Magnet · July 21st, 2007, 4:05 AM

Everytime I see spy shots of cars like these, I hope and plead that it is just the car companies' attempt at sick humour, before they reveal the proper model.

If this is where we are heading, I may as well get myself a wife with some plastic boobs, and drive around looking at coffee grinders all day.

I don't see much difference between this and a X5/3. Sometimes the slantback works.

If they took off the off road crap and and turned it into a sports car, I think it would be rather good

M3lover · July 21st, 2007, 1:00 PM

The X6 is a properly stupid idea.

A 4x4 SAV 4-door coupe. WTF?

How the hell do you think it would be a good idea with a very sporty SUV? Get a real 4x4 with some off-road capability or a sports saloon. Don't mix it images/smilies/no.gif
