Don't like the X6? Maybe its offspring might change your mind...

That's horrid!



What the hell are you talking about? Is JLR not an established manufacturer then? I would have thought 1922 (five years after BMW) would put them in the "established" camp.

And if you think that x4 is better than a JLR Evoque then you need your eyes testing.

Evoque is much better in every way !

Missing the trick: BMW will not plough money into making a new car class if no one will buy it.

Is this a hint that a 4 series will be out soon?

To me however the X4 makes no sense. And for that reason I'm out.

X4 a 2 door X6. Great job.

What is the point in this thing?

Bluergh

This!

I think Chris Tucker's "All ya'll look alike!" quote is also quite valid here.

What's with all the X cars these days? What next, X2, X8 and X9? All of them apart from the X5 seem so utterly pointless.

You've misinterpreted what I said. JLR is coming out with great cars, everyone is in agreement that they are and how it's a breath of fresh air to their range. This highlights that they were coming out with rubbish under the old management and under new management they now aren't.

Other manufacturers gained market share during this period and with that came the ability to have more product lines which has helped them sell more cars that appeal more to specific continents. For example the X5M/X6M sells very well in the US and Middle East, but the M5 sells better here (and in the US). The A4L and 3 series LWB are selling well in China as that's what the market wants, JLR haven't had anything to compete even in Europe for this class this time round as they're concentrating on other things.

The Germans really are making a proper go to establish themselves in the new world, JLR's coming up with some good stuff but it really shows what an establish manufacturer can achieve over JLR.

Yeah there photocopier has a high pages per minute setting.

XF, XJ new Range Rover and Evoque are all old management cars.

Wasn't that the ongoing joke from the BMW fanbase towards Audi?

How times have changed

Did that seal the deal for Tata that some money was in the works?

Hasn't the point of this thread been missed?

Urgh.

Coming to a school run near you soon....

Indeed. I thought this was all a bit of an over exaggerated myth but the woman across the road bought a brand new Evoque. The only time it moves(like her previous Range Rover) is around quarter to 9 and quarter past 3 to pick her kid up from a school that's less than a mile away.

There is a market

 

[Von Smallhausen]

It looks like all the X series. Awful.

 

[Hades]

Boring and probably available in a whole range of unexciting diesel engines

Take me back to the 80's and 90's please.

 

[Cosimo]

There is nothing wrong with an X6 but baby, no thanks.

 

[Something Else]

maybe im wrong but bmw seem to invent a potential market and then they design a car for that market and then spew out a load of stuff about how the car will indirectly give you a 10"

i like bmws but not the monstrosity suvs/crossovers/stupid cars

 

[Draeger]

Great. As completely pointless as an X1.
