The decals add at least 10hp and are supposed to distract people from realizing how silly the car really looks.

Refuse to " grow up". Stay young!

Is that Melbourne Red ?? The show room lights really make a lot of bland colors stand out. I've seen Melbourne red many times before and it never looks like that.

Not with those tires.

RE:

Am i the only one that likes the body of an x4, x6 etc. And i'm obviously not comparing them with actual sedan or coupe vehicles out there. I'm strictly just comparing with other SUVs and bigger size vehicles.

It grew on me as well, especially after seeing it in person and driving it!

I think the X6 is super cool, although I'm not sure I like the curves in the current generation as well as the previous. That one had a very masculine, menacing presence. The X4, to me, looks very much like a smaller version of the current X6. Probably a better size for most people, if they're honest. I do think it needs the largest available wheel/tire package to look good.

I'm over sport sedans for a while. The ones I've had are too fragile. I stop paying maximum attention for two minutes and I scrape the air dam on something. Potholes in the winter are in a constant battle against my wheels. A little clearance would not be a terrible thing. I don't think these "Sport Activity Coupes" are a bad concept at all.
