This is going to be BMW-ized counterpart with the incredible performance, and handling, and looks. Can't wait to see one on the road (and probably track).

Extravagantly wasteful spending is what drives this economy. If people only bought what they NEED, and not what they WANT, the GDP would be about 1/8th of that it is. Wasteful spending is simply taking a pause - it's not going away. With super-low interest rates, and cheap gas, the cycle will repeat itself. Watch. RaineMan – no it’s not.

If you lay off 10 employees from your company then go out and buy one of these a lot of people are going to be hating you. The days of fiscal irresponcibility and extravagantly wasteful spending are over.

The thing is that this suv was never marketed for people who complained about gas prices. They have more than enough money for gas! And those people who have the money will not downgrade on quality to save on gas. I say, bring on these huge a$$ engines while you still can. By the way, is it just me or do the new engines from BMW look like crap compared to the old ones? you make it sound like everyone is ditching suv’s man!

The decision to throw a more powerful and fuel thirsty powerplant under the hood of the X5 will accomplish absolutely nothing. BMW's designers are totally screwed up in the head. First they make the X6, which is probably the stupidest looking "crossover" on the roads today, then they go shoving a more powerful V8 under the hood of the honkin huge X5. All the while new car buyers are fleeing from SUVs and super-lux symbols of gross and wanton extravagance like rats from a sinking ship. I just want to know why.
