As you know, we get invited to a lot of manufacturer trips to get you the early line on upcoming vehicles.
After all, when you're spending the kind of dough these guys are asking, you'd better do your research.
But who do you trust when you read these reviews?
We all the know the big mags are paid off, so you need to take their stuff with a grain of salt and when you read the average blog, you wonder if it's some kid living under the stairs, who even has a license.
We always review from the perspective that we have actually OWNED these caliber of vehicles and we have actually spent our hard earned money on them.
Yes, we get review cars, but we are REAL consumers...not wannabe's.
That said, it doesn't mean we're always right because when things are a matter of taste, you know how the saying goes.... 'Opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one.'
So when you read our review on the new BMW X6, you can tell we're big fans and believe the new look will be a hit with the customers that BMW normally attracts and will conquest many potential Range Rover Sport, Cayenne, ML and Infiniti customers.
How can it go wrong with that sexy body and gripper like handling? Is it the Mercedes CLS of SUV's?
In other words, it's the next HOT thing at premium dealerships and it will be lusted after, in as much as one can in a world of $4.00 per gallon gas.
But it looks like our friends over at AutoBlog and many of the writers at other competitive sites are seeing this differently.
Sam from AutoBlog says he is not impressed with the X6 and in fact goes as far to say- "BMW is declining to say how many they hope to sell. They did indicate that exports will should account for about half of production, with Europe, the Middle East and Russia as the primary markets. Lou Ann and I agreed that BMW should help the U.S. trade deficit and export them all."
So is he saying he hopes that BMW ships them all far, far away because he dislikes it?
Or am I reading this wrong?
Elighten me AutoSpies.com faithful....Is it going to be the next thing or flop like Dominik Hasek.
It will be interesting what all these writers say when EVERY SINGLE ONE in the forecast sells.
Cause this is the sexiest Bangle butt yet.
