How fitting that the ugliest vehicle in BMW's lineup gets painted a colour so dark you really can't see it in photos.

THat Picture was set up to make the car look "dark" - simply a Photographic Effect. If the car had been lighted from the front - it would simply be another Black car

All these SUV "coupes" should be painted this color.

No one is going to bring up Acura ZDX huh?

BMW X6 Run is 2007 to present, the Acura ZDX was 2009 to 2013. The original AMC Eagle ran from 1980-1988.
