Hmm, didn't Rommel and his mates drive the original xActivity sports activity vehicle on the dunes of North Africa about 60 some years ago ? Turns out Montgomery wasn't quite a fan of Rommel's particular type of sporting activities ;)

Wow! I love that first pic. What is that? Is that disguised, or something just weird? I'd like it just like that.

Hope they keep the split front windscreen and single wiper :cool:
Hmmm - looks a bit like X6 and 9-6X are heading in similar direction...

Now - can we get Saab to make the front end of the 9-6X a little more aggressive?

yeah, that X6 front end looks like it would eat the saabs front end. Of course that saab photo is photoshopped, so hopefully saab is doing some good work.

Hey isn't that X6 missing its Hoffmeister kink, and the photoshop'd 9-6X HAS one (IIRC it came from Mazda 3) ? :o

Nope, it isn't. The Hoffmeister Kink is there, look carefully, it's not as pronounced as the one on the 3 series.

The Hoffmeister Kink isn't exclusive to the bimmer either, some older cars have had it too and newer German cars like the new Jetta sport it quite well.
