Actually Infiniti was the first to come up with the idea of a coupe like SUV, not BMW.

@Horatiu B.:
mmmm I think the TSX have a L4 2.5L with 205hp
and the MDX, TL, RL have a 3.7L with 305

My guess for the engines are the Turbo L4 2.3L with 240 hp that the RDX has and for the top lvel the 3.7 L still i think while the acuras are no half bad, the x6 will be always superior, i think this will be considered the “cheap” model to call it someway.

@Kodey: Hmm… google reveals some flipflopping on the engine offerings, but according to this link that engine is a diesel and it’s 280hp:

@doug: I agree totally 200hp? comon how can you compare?? Bmw has a 6 and a 8 cylinder version and acura is trying for 200hp in a suv??? dont make a lot of sense....

300hp from 3.6L is conservative, but 200hp from a 3.5L seems awfully low. Is the 3.5 a diesel?

@Horatiu B.: Look at the e65 7-series Horatiu. BMW has NEVER had a more successful selling 7-series in history, yet look at the bashing it took and the huge design benchmarks it made for every other automaker...the X6 will be no different

Its going to contain the same hideous body lines the TL has shown us…look at the spy photo of the bag end driving! I see this being either a flop like the new TL, or a bailout for people who dont want to step up to the price tag of the BMW.

I think the back will be the same as in the TL, it as some similar lines, but i think this car will not have the same presence that the x6 have, because most Japanese car do not have that “muscle”, that make the x6 awsome

@Miles Ransom: It's funny how everyone bashed the X6, but now they are following it.
