I think an M version of both the X5 and X6 are awesome, but I am a truck guy at heart. I've always loved the Trailblazer SS, Cherokee SRT8, and the older GMC Typhoon, and the MB AMG ML's. The idea of hauling a family and towing my 4 wheelers at high speeds has always intrigued me
First thing I thought too when I saw the tv commercials! So BMW invent two new niches with the X6 and 5GT, they don't sell very many of either that I can see, so the market is obviously a little on the small side, but Honda still go ahead and rip them off? Maybe they will sell better being cheaper? Time will tell I guess.
