They don’t bother tarting up or cleaning much there so the pictures look quite representative of what the car is. Alloys need a refurb, tyres are ropey
Interior is dirty but I can’t see any torn bits- panels look reasonable.
Has an M156 engine of course so needs checking for the engine number..

Is that the same place we saw the 600 that wasn't?

Not a cherished example then John? I was surprised when looking at How many left that they sold in such numbers (albeit in the hundreds), so it wouldn't be that hard to "find another one then". They must make an interesting ride!

Not cherished at all in recent times looking at it Peter, albeit not the worst I’ve seen!

It's a shame it's located so far from me....would be nice to see if the driving experience was worth the single-figure MPG..

Agree that the price is pitched too high though.

Agree with you on that, I think the X6 is the ugliest new vehicle available (followed by the Nissan Puke and Toyota C-HRist they actually made it)

And the Qube doesn’t make a showing why..?

Not officially imported into the UK :D

(I also don't mind them as they're a practical use of space) ;)

What about the Tesla X?

Not spectacularly ugly, but ill-proportioned and guppy-like.

Don't get me started on the massively-inappropriate use of the term "SUV"...

Sports: Unless you're a dartsplayer, there'll be no room for your kit.

Utility: No chance. Try dragging a normal estate-car load of rubbish to the dump.....it won't fit.

Vehicle: Maybe, but at the old song goes "Two outa Three ain't bad"..... scoring a one, just doesn't cut it!

Doesn't the model x actually tick the box "sport utility vehicle" though?
7 seats in a luxury vehicle that reaches 60 in 3.2 secs..

X6 is n my view the most pointless vehicle ever made.
It's not a good 4x4, it's not a sports car, it can't carry lots and it's fugly - what's the point of it?
We saw one stuck in snow in Aviemore, even though there front wheel drive cars driving past, pointless low profile large road tyres. It wouldn't be too bad if they looked ok.
