Winner of the Question No One Asked Award…
You have to hand it to BMW. Just as the world is collectively made redundant, the world economy decides to commit very public suicide and everyone suddenly decides to pay forensic attention to C02 emissions, they launch the X6; an SAV that defines the notion of conspicuous consumption.
It only seats four, looks like someone shot a 6-series full of bull testosterone and then made it balance on rollerskates, and has the subtlety of Keith Chegwin off his face on cocaine.
The plaudits don’t stop there though – the X6 is remarkable to drive on road, thanks to its utter inability off it – despite the rugged looks. It does precisely nothing that any other BMW car in the range doesn’t do better – as if the people planning the car have not looked up from their welding long enough to ask the question: ‘who the hell are we building this thing for anyway?’
Let’s face it, if the X6 were a person, it would be the city banker whose hobby was kicking tramps to death in handmade brogues – it is two fingers to the credit crunch, practicality, the environment, poor people and rationality. If it were the 1980s, BMW would be laughing. But it isn’t, and as a result, nobody on planet earth gets the joke.
Agree with this? Wade in below. We’ll add up the total number of comments on each of the WTF Car? Award posts to work out the overall winner, so type carefully.
See the other contenders in our WTF Car? Awards gallery…

this deserves to win/lose just because:
a) there’s no point in it
and b) it’s hideously, biblically, monstrously ugly.
One question. Why?
I’m sorry but how does this car offend poor people? and its not THAT ugly, ive seen it in white and looks pretty cool.. I think its a fairly competent car and has rivals such as the Range Rover Sport and Infinity FX50
One word. Fugly.
Ssanyong is always hideous, they can´t do otherwise. Just like Chevy and Jeep…
But BMW! Why? It’s not just ugly, it looks like it was designed in one afternoon, after a big lunch, before happy hour. Somebody in the board had the idea, nobody in design wanted to do it and they give it to the temp.
Not to mention the anti-green stuff.
this is the most pointless car ever!!!!!!!!
it doesnt know what it is!!!
Two big reasons for me to hate this car:
1 – it exists
2 – it will make more “of it’s like” cars to be created
Z-man get your eyes checked as soon as possible, with those eyes you shouldn’t be allowed to drive at all. It offends everyone with its total pointlessness and with the fact that it’s the most hideous car bmw ever launched.
Hey guys, as much as I agree with the comments of the author, I just wanted to let you know that the car is a real hit in Romania, where big, expensive, silly vehicles are most wanted.
Also, I kinda’ like it too just because it’s so different from anything on the street (but then again I drive a Renault Megane ’03 so I may be sick).
Keep up the good work
This Car is the worst car of the year hands down because it actually has no point!
This car epitomizes everything that’s wrong with German cars these days. But it’s really not BMW’s fault. It’s the people who end up buying these air-conditioned, leather upholstered lorries dressed up as John Prescott. That said, I would still love to kill one of those X6 – Clarkson style.
Well this may sound mad but the marketing guys at BMW hit the nail on the head with this one.
Everyone in the UK wants to feel “safe” and “big” in 4×4 doing the school run etc… But at the same time they wish they didn’t have kids and lived a bit more so that they can have an M5.
Well now this demographic in the UK has got the car of its dreams…
What the hell is it trying to be? Definitely gets my vote.
It’s ridiculous, stupid and hideous. On the outside, it’s as big as an SUV. Happily, it compensates for this by having relatively little interior room.
Well done, BMW. Damn well.
Again i just love when germans mess up. “i got a bmw” “which one” “the strange one”
‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ Trust me if u see this car in white on big (BMW stock) wheels its looks good, quirky. In a few years this car will age very well..
and ‘anthrax’ i have got eyes and iam not the only one who thinks this car, if in right colour/wheel combo looks good..
No supercar makes more sense than this xxx666,to own (practicality,consumtion, cost….) and supercars are not beautiful (as you “petrolheads”,use to salivate over them for purely aestetic reasons)they are just visually extreme”challenging”,just as the x6.Whit a small difference,you are actually going to be much faster on British wet B roads in the xxx666mmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!w ith passengers if you like?
It’s time for BMW to stop doing these ugly monsters and go back to the cars that people actually want!
Very worst car ever made by BMW. One of the worst cars ever made by anyone. Hate it.
This is like the birthchild of Quasimodo and a European Fire-bellied Toad.
Hey,whats gonna be next?X6M convertible?come on people!!!!
This car is the worst of the worst (that you from TG have so ‘selflessly’ selected… and maybe already have lots of headaches from).
It is massively pointless, while trying too hard to be massively unique and must-have. Fails to do so, it’s more a must-not-have.
Well actually the old proverb of beaty and beholder’s eye is just rubbish. If you thought about the whole matter a bit, you’d realize that beauty is actually nothing more than whatever the general opinion is. And judging by the comments here, I’d say you’re just wrong. Oh and if you Z-man think that any car looks cool if it’s got 30′ wheels on, good luck. Escalades should be quite cheap these days so check it out, ghetto style!
I would like to add here that since we pay taxes based on how big co2 emissions your car has, there should also be an additional tax for ugly cars. Then everyone driving cars similar to the x6 would have to pay some extra for their ugly SUV’s. In this case we might just have fewer “visually challenging” cars around here and we’d all be happier.
@ No.20 An X6M has been spied, but with a hard top.
Oh how much I hate this car. Who would want an X5 crossed with a 6-Series?! In Mikeado’s Britain this would be banned. I see one and instantly decide that the driver is an utter tosser who’s poorly endowed and knows nothing about cars, like all overpaid chavs (Or, as they’re usually otherwise known, footballers). These people should not be allowed to buy their own cars; look what it’s lead to!
Agreed pig ugly and pointless!!!!!
what are you saying about yourself when you purchase this?
Why? Just why? BMW has been going down with their styling since they first released the Z4. All the unnecessary folds and creases were – needless to say – unnecessary. Then this… beastly waste of resources. You want to save the environment, save the metal. It is butt ugly, and useless; trying to beat everything in it’s class, which it still fails when it is its own class.
Enough said. It’s a winner. Or looser?
Fugly.
Why is this car such a big hit in my country(Romania)???Why??? Almost all of the romanian websites with cars are saying that this is a very good or very beautiful car!!!Oh yeah!I forgot something!IT IS AN EXTREMELY UGLY CAR(THE UGLYEST CAR OF THE WORLD)!!!The BMW 7-series(precedent version) and the 5-series are beautiful besides this!
I just saw this car today and I absolutely have no idea what the shape of such thing is for… If it’s a luxury 4×4, it has seats for 5 ppl and it’s supposed to be practical. then what’s the bloody point in that utterly weird bend it has at the back? the Coupe couch potato I suppose?
No one who owns this car would dare to do sporty things with it, this isn’t a Dakar racing Mitsubishi, then why make it sporty looking? :S
VISUALLY CHALLENGING(no ugly surfaces,or bad proportions)=PROGRESSIVE design.Or better said progressive design=visually CHALLENGING shapes.Any way you dont need to like the looks,YOU NEED TO TAKE A RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to vote for the Chrysler Sebring because it is just awful, but this is offensive. Can you imagine the type of twat that would buy this thing. Imagine this conversation; Reasonable person – “Is that your car?” BMW owner – “Oh, yeah, it is a BMW.” Reasonable person “It is ugly” BMW owner – “Yes, but at least it is expensive and inefficient.”
The BMW X6 – W.T.F
stupid car, 1989 batman batmobile is more sensible everyday car. that aside, batmobile is cool, while this is as cool as a man raping a sheep.
@”V”man: It’s visually challenging in the same way a ship welded the aft of an aircaft carrier and the bow of a semi-submersible is. It just doesn’t work.
And I know the X6 is probably rather a good car to drive. And so should the Porsche Cayenne, BMW 5 and all other sorts of things be. I just couldn’t live with one because of the looks.
Its pretty fast with the turbo 8 but ugly, useless and utterly pointless.
I actually like how X6 looks. How come you all hate it?
I know it´s od looking.but i really like to challenge the use of the word UGLY.Easy word to use,hard to quantifie. And Zdravc ,it all depends if the sheep is a hardcore1!??????? now that´s UGLY!
So wrong..
peterfaj, our eyes work.
from the country who cannot design a beautiful car….its German…. nuff said.
Hope you don’t mind a comment from America, but we have these over here too, so I guess I’m just as qualified as anybody. Whether you like it or not, it is pointless. If i wanted something sporty that could carry 4 to 5 people and had some snob appeal, I’d get a mid sized or full sized BMW or Mercedes sedan (that’s saloon to you, I believe). If I wanted/needed soething that could go off road, I’d buy a Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4 Runner, etc. You know something that can actually be taken off a paved road. This thing compromises any off-roading capability it might have had to make it better handling and more comfortable on pavement, yet it doesn’t offer the handling of that a competent car, say a BMW 5 or 7 series, offers. Utterly, completely worthless.
Ugly, ugly, ugly and for the fourth time ugly vehicle. Combination of sports coupe and a SUV, yea right big as Texas and as ugly as Porshe SUV.
I heard that this is a science experiment to see whether people will still buy a pointless car if it has a BMW badge on it.
Yes, it’s different, but it’s still hideous.
Alright, let’s start off by saying that if you hold your hand up to cover the bottom half, it looks like a 1 series from the back. But then you take your hand away and notice that it is enormous, but without any usable space for this thing’s owner. It’s so odd it makes your mind bend.
Simply terrible
5 reasons to lynch Chris Bangle and string him up by his own lower intestines:
1: The BMW X6
2: The Rest of the BMW Range
3: The BMW X6
4: The BMW X6
5: Oh what a Supprise! The BMW M6
Trying to appeal to all of the people all of the time and most of the people never
I am going to say the opposite of what everyone is saying it is a love it or hate it car.
And if you remember love or hate it styles and cars are COOL.
Think practical people will not buy this car, neither will the bargain hunters it will only by the people who want something like a Range Rover Sport but handles like normal car.
Please Do Not Send me hate mail lol
This thing just shouldn’t exist. It’s horrible. WTF?
The X6 is marvelous! Whoever says that this car looks terrible has horrible taste.
It’s a combination of everything that’s wrong with an SUV and everything that’s wrong with a sports car.
It’s the perfect example that BMW has lost its mojo
Why bother?
there were some much worse candidates than this, like the Ssangyong, but there aren’t any on the roads, so they are completely inimportant. This, however, only because it’s a BMW, it will be bought by lots of cocks, even if it looks like a Ssangyong. So it deserves this prize, to annoy all these cocks.
actually it’s exactly like a Ssangyong Actyon!!!! Would a BMW X6 owner buy the Ssangyong? no, really no.
I think that Ssangyong isn’t a true ‘WTF car’, WTF^2 would be if they actually designed and produced a good car.
Saw one of these the other day.
The guy was so ashamed ALL the windows were tinted bitch-black.
Can’t blame him really.
So ugly, it makes the Cayenne look (almost) pretty…
There’s a white one of these driving around the area near my house and everytime I see it I can’t help but think what on earth possesed you to purchase such an utterly pointless car.
Being absoltely butt ugly doesn’t help it’s case either…
I saw one of these monstrosities in the metal the other day. I parked up behind it and at first thought that it must have been a new Ssangyong. Then I saw the BMW badge. Ah, this’ll be one of those funny Chinese BMW knock-offs, I thought. Nope. The real thing. What were you thinking BMW??
Right, I’ll stop going on about the looks – what else? Oh yeah, what the hell is the point of this thing? Sporty SUV? Rugged copué? Are BM trying to out-niché Merc?
Terrible.
Its absolutely truly pointless!!
Its not a SUV, it can’t go off road for its life so why the big bulky body?
And its not a saloon and although it handles incredibly well for a SUV, its not a SUV and there and many saloons with far superior handling than this.
This is one of those cheap, my car is bigger than yours thing…
Oh and what’s worse, other car manufacturers are looking at this atrocity and thinking to themselves “hmm, we should build one of these too!”…
What has the world come to?! Cars manufacturers spending millions bucks on designing cars that could have been better designed by a 10yr old for 20p. Cars manufacturers making truly pointless cars and thinking to themselves in their stratospheric optimism that they’ve done humanity a great job!
Not sure I needed the accent on niche there. Still, this will count as a second vote.:-)
Utterly, utterly terrible.
This is the automotive equivalent of playing sports (well, trying to) while wearing stiletto heels.
At least most people look good in stilettos though. Like anyone would look good in one of these.
At last an award the X6 deserves to win
BMW has lost their damn mind!
Ugly as sin and utterly without purpose.
This car is even uglier than the X5
now thats bad!
if this car is going to win ANY award (i doubt any of those awards will be good awards) then it should be this one.
It has no grace, which a car that costs so much should have. Its tasteless and looking at it in metal will make u throw up. There are far uglier cars on the road than X6 but they are far cheaper and practical. To spend so much cash on this crap can mean only one thing either u r a pimp for Russian prostitutes or consider Paris Hilton a role model.
This is the punishment for all the people that bought a bmw (…ehr, not completely wrong) instead of an alfa. Now you would have the alfa kamal concept (that is 6 year old and still the most beautiful suv design around)and the new cxover concept, that i don’t like cause it remind me the ghastly x6
a BMW which whant’s to be a sportcar but still remains a heavy ugly SUV.
Even though I knew of its existence, I was truly horrified and speechless when I saw one on the M23 – someone had actually paid money for one.
All of you guys say it’s ugly,but there’s nobody who give’s decent arguments
it taste,and thats diffrent with everybody,and performence and comfort it has got,despit what you all think.
how many of you have actually driven it?
its a good car,maby a little strange,but its a good car and the looks are allright.
BUT don’t believe me,at the rate is see these cars passing by on the streets,you guys blaming it of everything are the minority…
this car makes me want to die.
“bruycker” has an X6…which makes him even worse than a Ssangyong Rodius owner …and that is low very low indeed !
I agree, it’s this year’s WTF car – ugly, useless and it’s tackier than anything a Serbian drug smuggler would buy to impress his countryside whores…
It copy the profile and philosophy of a Ssangyong SUV. Get attention by being outstanding ugly
this is what happens when you drink 8 bottles of coughsyrup before the marketing and design meeting.
I believe that anyone who buys this car should be put in a work camp.
Or raped by a gaggle of silverbacked apes. Either way, justice will be served.
Pointless car
Who is going to want to drive a coupe off road. Exactly. There is absolutely no reason why the X6 should ever be built. It is FAR to hideous to be considered a coupe really, and it will only be driven in towns, so basically, it’s sticking two fingers up at the environment. Is it uglier than the Ssangyong (however you spell it)? Let’s see…
its pathetic mercedes and bmw create the dumbest cars in history thats why it gets my vote
In the first photo I ever saw of this car, it looked small .. Mini size. I thought that would be a great idea. When I read what it was, I thought how stupid. Now, a couple years later, I see them on the road and have to pull over to avoid posting my already eaten breakfast on the floor of my car.
I’ve only ever seen this car in the car park of a retail park in Croydon, a place so hateful I will never return. There were three of them. Hmmm.
How can BMW bring such a monstrosity on the world. It’s as though they were making an SUV and then stopped halfway and tried to convert it into a coupe. Noooo! It’s unbeleivably pointless and it’s hateful.End.
Imagine living with dot cottons face? well its as ugly as this! stupid german crossovers
x6 are very nice sounds cool bubly v6
mr insider you truley do suck at this, go back to makin tea or whatever it is you did at tg b4 you got this blog, this blog is kinda like a bucket full of holes ..doesn´t really hold water ;(
do you actually recieve payment for your efforts or is this a part of your apprenticeship ? hobby ?
surely the competition generated response but the quality was somehow lost from the start.. way below tg standard. Should have tryed to beat the ssangyong instead you picked on the weak and left out the obvious.. ladas, dacias, aros, audis, hondas, toyotas, the list is endless and only the ssangy´s on it from here.. shame, would have been good fun..
hope you read this and take no offence:D
oh and stop trying to imitate clarkson, find your own style and live with it..
hugz ai
take ie easy guys,i think you r all owners of merc, that why you hate this piece of art.
it is amazing
Hey look Guys,
I have bought a sporty SUV coupe with nostrils the size of Fiji because I don’t have a clue what I want in life!
it’s fat, and it’s ugly, just like a penis….
…so it’s a fat penis
this thing is a true WTF? of the car world
I used to hate this type of thing like the rest of you, until I had to borrow an X5 for a weekend. Unbelievable. It was a truly awesome bit of kit. Not only was it great to drve and felt good being so high up, the interiror was just such an incredibly niceplace to spend time. Judging it without driving it is like judghing someone because of their skin colour, as opposed to looking at the individual inside. Once I’d ‘got to know’ the X5 I suddenly got the whole thing and I’d love to drive one again. I imagine the X6 is similar, only even better to drive.
world’s uggliest car
Just when BMW had almost completely shaken the “driven exclusively by cocks” award over to Audi, it snatches it all back with this, the X6. While the X6 is a terrifylingly pointless load of cocking in its own right, Audi’s answer should be even more fascinating. Or, most likely, a good looking overpriced cock-mobile, based on a VW something-or-other, and called a Q pick a number. It’s bad when unasked questions such as the X6 will almost certainly receive an answer from a rival…
I’ve considered this for a while now and have to say that this is my nomination for the WTF Car. Whilst the Ssangyong, Jeep, Maybach & MG would all be worthy winners, you come to expect crap cars from those manufacturers. But BMW, come on!! This is one of the most pointless and ugly cars ever made.
are you all communists ? what´s wrong with good looking-expensive cars ? And does anyone here have an opinion on cars that isn´t generated by Clarkson ??? Honestly !!!! Go down to your local dealers and have a look/sit/drive in one of these and than take out an audi q7 /q5, Landcruisers etc and experience the difference for yourselves b4 coming up with dck head statements about who and who isn´t a cock.. most fast lux cars are bought by ppl who like to drive fast and that´s the bottom line, if thayt makes one a cock than I think were all massive ones.. this is a nerdy cars site after all, keep that in mind
ps all tg is going to do regarding wtf is look at response counts on each post, which after reading some of the comments on most of the posts will give a totally distorted indication of what a wtf car is according to all of us here..
I thought I´d just point that out… bad luck for this x6…
I don`t understand…I JUST don`t understand!This “car” exists,we all have to learn to live with that fact,just as we WILL see stock-brokers,who drove a Cayenne last year,sitting in them with a smug smile thinking:Look how cool my “car” is,with me in it! BUT HOW THE HELL COULD BMW ADMIT TO BEING THE MANUFACTURER?Have they NO shame? Or pride in what they make?This thing comes from the people who gave us the M3 CSL,M5,M6,X5?That number is were it should have stopped:X5! But there is no getting away from it!Idiots WILL buy this car,in the belief that they are “hipp”No bragging intended,but i come from a shipping-family(my dad)and please don`t mistake rich,with idiot coz u`ll NEVER see me in one.I drive a boxter S,and i`m quite happy with that.And if ppl ask why not the 911?I concider myself as a good driver,and driving a Boxter on the edge is easy;compared to the somewhat scary 911 wich will play,until it`s had enoug,and kills u.
try one ? x6 I mean.. in diamant schwarz, beige hide and the spotrs pack ??? it is fast and furious and looks like nothing else and for that alone I like it.Don´t buy one, Try one ! Bmw were not thinking, ah vell here´z a kah´for za broke broker to luk smugg in.. they tought if you don´t like the sterile q7, the VOLKSwagen Touraeg, the flimsey Cayenne,the 2kids1dog Volvo but you don´t want a Rangerover you can buy THIS. Not bad thinking.. aaannd 911´s don´t kill ppl ,ppl kill ppl
so if daddy thought you weren´t man enough to handle a real porsche don´t blame the porsche yaa,
it was too easy hahahaha
srorry bro I simply couldn´t let that one slide
luv
Now i think this car really deserves to win. A concept of design that i find really impressive and is nothin new to BMW’s design team ; setting trends in design. A sure winner, in my opinion
American idol:I saw this before the Merc and what u had to say there.That`s why i apologise for the shit i wrote above.But i get VERY engaged when i can be bothered;) And no bad words about the 911,it`s just easyer to harness the power in a mid-engined car,than a car with the engine hanging BEHIND the rear wheels.U must agree to that?I`m no “The Stig” and i doubt u are too.Plz tell me:what DO u drive?Porsche is the only reliable exotic car u can own in Norway.Ferrari or Lambo in below zero?Wouldn`t turn over,never mind start!The McMerc starts at once. Wanna burry the hatcet,mate?
103 is for my autofiliac friend
awright let´s call it quits, it was good fun though wasn´t it ? hahaha
I drive a 2003 330ci S, fitted with the e46 schintzer exhaust system and suspension arms and chipped. I´ve had it for 5 years and still love it thoguh somehow I feal it´s not quite what it should be, so I´ve got my heart set on the new m3 this xmas to keep me smiling for the next 5 years..
and no offence meant none was taken, though your last comment was a bit too harsh and did my head in for a couple of minutes..:D
let´s keep to cars bro okay ?
hugz
Am.Idol: Yeah,good fun! Stirred the pot a bit,and i know american car-industry is on it`s knees for a reason.Their cars can`t turn,lacks attention to details.BUT they push just the right buttons for a car-lover,don`t u think?The Dodge Ram SRT-10.A 2.5 ton pickup-truck,but with a V10,and 500bhp? It`s just insane enough to demand to be taken “seriously” And that is what motoring is all about:mad,outrageous,to hell with the nanny-state,passion!And the new M3? O yeah,gimme some of that!U know beforehand,that your savings probably will go up in a cloud of smoke.Tyre-smoke that is!But i`ll just ask my dad for a new set of pirelli p-zero`s…..Nice knowing,and arguing with u mate:)
American Idol:I just remembered the new Nissan GT-R! Oh man,that is a freakin`F16 fighter-jet in low altitude:It snapped Jezza`s neck on the Fuji-track,crushed EVERYTHING around the nurburgring.My next U.K-car!Definetively!`cau se,as u pointed out.it`ll be 30-35.000 over there,whilst 100-120.000 here.
its a very nice car .. its a bmw.. its a car with performances ( suv.. remenber) security handling and lots of good things… the way it looks.. for me i thniks it a good looking car. Even if you thinks its a dam ugly car take a look at the other ones… THEY TRULLY SUCK
X6 is quite possibly the most pointless car of the decade.
And I’m a BMW fan.
sigh…
scrap it boys…please!
autofil:
dunno about ami cars, pick ups don´t do it for me and I thrive on detail which the rest of the lack, anyone can pimp up a 7L engine to chuck out 500 bhp, see pimp my ride hahaha and they don´t have that wonderfull design they had from the 50´s to the early 70´s anymore either.. shame
as for the GT`R I was brought up believing that Japanese cars are hmm 2nd rate at the best so I´m not interested and never really was, they lack charachter somehow and I find that important, all my cars have/had names and personalities and a nissan, honda or a toyota is just to bland, too “fast and furious” too asian, the design simply doesn´t appeal, I can´t relate to them and therefore will never own one. Bimmers, old alfas, Jags, Astons, Triumph and Lotus, and I´ll probably get an older Landrover v8 for fun.. (I live in the cotswalds..) but glad you´re interested, great arguing with ya, maybe I´ll see ya in a GT-R
This car can only be described by sayng wtf. It will only be bought by shall we say complete merchant bankers. What is the point in it. Buy an X5
This car is perfect for lets say a person from Dubai(or similar mid east city), its fast, high ride height, expensive badge, looks aggressive, rarely seen, can do very light offroading in sand..
v man, proressive design is nowhere to be found on the x6, they just glued the 6-series onto the x3. There aint nothing new about that. The x6 though does not offend me aesthetically. but the fact that it is the definition of a car made by marketing just really pisses me off. oh god. I have the nausea
Have you seen the new 5 series hatch? X1? What has happened at BMW? I actually think these cars dont look terribly ugly, but they are useless all the same.
They have taken the word “niche” to a whole new level.
because there is no other excuse for buying one other than you like it, it just has to be the X6.
The creation of a brand new niche for cars,happens once in a blue moon.And almost every time it`s BMW who does it.The 1st racin/4 door saloon?M5!Then came Merc,Audi,Jaguar…M3!Again ,some months later we had the RS4,C63 AMG.Sorry,i stand corrected.After the M3 mk1 came the Merc 2.3-16,and later the 2.5-16 evo/cossie.Thoug I personally dont like the X6,i think SAV`s are here to stay,as opposed to the Merc R-class.But thats just me…
pig ugly car bought by those needing a penis extension
The real joke about this monstrosity is that it should be an icon of wealth, but isn’t. We all know that really rich people buy a sportscar, a coupe, an offroader and a seven seater; several of each for each day o/t week and special occasions, such as when Fifi gets her toenails repainted by Michelangelo jr. Whoever buys this thing is actually declaring his poverty because he can only buy one car. Like he’s trying to show off with only one creditcard which isn’t even goldplated but is in fact made of Lego.
And even then, when portrayed next to Quasimodo, I know which one’d be the looker of the two.
The choice between this and the Landaulette was tough, but the Landaulette will probably not sell more than two or three worldwide. This one is therefor the immoral winner. The Ssangyoung is not on my list because it doesn’t reach the high standard for becoming a true wtf car. It doesn’t get beyond omg i’m gonna barf level. The others are simply left in the dust.
Someone above asked what’s wrong with BMW, and I with him. I really liked the generation of the E46 3-series. Not very modern or ingenious, just very good looking, well made and a very nice drive. Since then… X5, X3, Z4, 1-series, butt ugly overstyled design and lots of gismo’s no-one wants. And now this. They lost me as a fan and potential customer.
Fat, ugly and pointless. This must surely be the worst car of the year. At least the Chrysler Sebring looks pretty next to this.
Look at it. Its ugly. Really, it could make a onion cry. It looks absolutely decadent and unnecessary. Its a niche for what? Posh people who think the X5 is to yobbish? They tried mutate a big SUV into a sporty coupé-SUV. Sticking sporty clothes on Gordon Brown doesn’t make him Brad Pitt. And why is this car more worse then SsangYoung? Because you pay a tenner for them and they dont say its pretty. BMW on the other hand sells their horrific car for twice the money and pretend its pretty. Its not a matter of taste, but a matter of sanity.
Most of the other cars have a point to them. The CLC is eye catching but rubbish, the chev is cheap, the chrylser is a cheap soft top for people with no taste or commons sense but the X6 is just wrong. Wrong pointless idea, wrong design, wrong looks, wrong implementation meaning it’s just pointless. It’s a compromise for people not wanting to compromise making you a controdiction bye your own admission. Fail. Such a huge fail. Oh and just fugly. So bleeding fugly.
yes , in euro it is fugly , but in vietnam , it is very hot , you can see many x6 there , a stylish suv in some countries ???
some people spend much money on this pointless thing , they love this fugly thing
in addition , the x6 is fit for some small people , if you are small enough , buy it
at least , it has an engine , it can run
Fugly little thing, the more the german auto companies try to please the yankees, the further from purpose and quality they get…
god is the the most ridiculous, pointless, ugly-looking, most stupid “moving thingy” in the whole world! no matter how good it handles, just look at it!!!
Quite simply hideous! A winner in these awards as it: 1) Has no purpose
2) Ugly
3) Expensive
4) Owners usually obnoxious
Who designed this, Stevie Wonder by any chance. Or maybe Ray Charles…
No wait, It was a Five year old, with an agenda.
One went past my house and i was physically sick and angry. ONly blind people would buy them, and they can;t see so subsequently can’t drive, why would you buy one, ok if they are a fiver(they probably will be in a few months) but there aint cheap man. get a grip people, get a decent, respectable car – Jaguar XF, VW Scirocco etc etc etc
unclepants hit the nail on the head also
Of all cars this has the least point to exist. Not to mention the looks.
btw..I hate me keyboard !!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont ever buy HP !!!! ..THE WORST PIECE OF JUNK I EVER SPENT MONEY ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
just goes to show you can stick the BMW badge on anything and the muppets will buy it!
it is an ugly load of communist rubbish.
this is a pointless car for the snobs who think they have an idea about cars but in fact they realy have no idea.
AHAHAHAHA….i love the pointlessness of this car! It makes no sense..and I still see douchebags driving it around!
WTF INDEED!
votin’ for this one, because bmw should know better
Again answers questions nobody’s asking – Should have called it the ‘X?’. For years I felt that BM were deliberately creating the ugliest crap on earth (new 1,3,5,7) just to see if folks would buy it … then lo and behold …
The first time i saw from behind, my first thought was: ‘Ah another very big Chinese-crap-car’. But no, it’s german, it’s BMW, it’s really expensiver and ugly.
This is one of the cars that looks pretty bad in pictures. But in real life it is horrifyingly ugly, how can anyone who can see buy this car??!!
A 4×4 Coupe? Never mind how some fugly vehicles get from design to production, it’s a mystery to me how this ever got from “Why don’t we make….” to design sketches without at least *one* person in the process pissing themselves with laughter. An idiocy of truly monumental proportions.
I was behind one the other day and it looks like a Elephant turd on wheels. On a brighter note, I think it’s very considerate of you to choose a picture taken from the front of the vehicle as I ate recently.
No, let’s face it. I saw one in the street and it’s not that ugly. It’s really nothing at all. Not ugly, not beautiful, no nothing. But boy is it big. Then again, a Q7 is bigger.
An X6 is like all colours of paint put together. You don’t get white, as physics lessons would have you believe. You get some sort of brownish green-grey goo. Like an electric guitar with ALL fx’s turned on. You’re left with nothing notable but a lot of noise and a lazy guitarist.
This car has the lack of space of a coupe combined with the gigantic dimensions of a suv…the worst of both worlds
It just soooooooooo ugly! You can forgive the Americans and Koreans because they make loads of ugly useless cars, but BMW? Unforgiveable.
Completely without a point and even pointless to look at. Down with BMW’s stupid niche cars.
The X6 is pointless, ugly, painful to look at, expensive, ostantatious, tasteless, hideous, ghastly, Beckham-ish, revolting,… – a true BMW!
…and suddenly a Rodius looks rather nice.
OK, it’s pointless. So was the X5 and it sold a bazillion units. And it’s a BMW so it’s probably quite good to drive. And if you’re buying a BMW you probably don’t care that it makes you look like a materialist jerk.
Is this good looking? No, but now that Bangle has mucked up the rest of the range none of them are.
This isn’t the worst vehicle on your WTF list.
modern day sinclair c5?
but UGLIER!
WTF? WTF is this thing meant to be really? In the ‘Big Book of Pointless Things’ the X6 is on Page 1…..
this one has to lose… thats all i can say… every thing is wrong with this thing… it has no potential market… even the idiots will steer clear
I was going to vote for the awful honda F1 failure; which was, as the kids say, made of fail.
Then I noticed that I could vote for the resurrected MG TF, a car that should have been left dead, but instead was resurrected by halfwits.
But… no. This has to win (lose?); it is the most pointless, ugliest, waste of road space since the Porsche Cayenne. furthermore, it’ll be driven by some awful hybrid of BMW man and school run mum, so it’ll cut you up at 45 mph in a 60 limit.
It’s not so much that it is perfectly ugly, but that BMW has handed the reigns over to Bangle and has given his freedom to do what he thinks people want. Just terrible. BMW used to make some of the best looking cars on the road, but when they went away from the “same sausage, different lengths” design language and hired the buffoon from Ohio (yes, Chris Bangle) the cars get progressively worse. I cannot think of a current pretty BMW. Can you?
This is seriously one car that was an absolute waste of money, time, and resources. I haven’t even seen one on the road. What was BMW thinking? Making a car that attempts to appeal to everyone and that does everything never works. Buy a proper 4×4 if you want to go offroad. Buy a proper car if you don’t plan on leaving the road….
JC said last year that the dicks that used to buy BMWs are now buying Audis. I have 2 arguments against this:
1. In my experience (driving & working all over UK) Audis have ALWAYS been driven by dicks. Have lost count of the no. of times they’ve cut me up, tailgated me (& no i wasn’t hogging the outside lanes!) and veered into my lane whilst talking on the mobile…etc etc.
and
2. This car you’d have to be a dick to buy it!
I feel violated.
Whoops, premature posting! 2.Should have read:
This car – you’d be a dick to buy it! Why would you spend BMW money on something that can’t even measure up to things like the Toyota? In performance i mean, cos sizewise it’s bloody huge which is another gripe, it’s an even bigger piece of visual pollution than the Jeep!
It’s so bad it doesn’t even deserve commenting on. If we don’t pay it any attention maybe it’ll just dissappear….
‘Z-Man’ likes this car
It looks horrific
Go team Infiniti
This car makes me happy, because it caters for people with very small brains and very large wallets, and will condemn them to a bland, ambiguous, nasty piece of work that looks scarily like a larger version of the Rover 25.
They’ll make about 300 of these. One for every Premiership footballer’s wife.
THIS CAR , in my personal opinion, Is the WORST CAR EVER TO COME OUT OF BMW!!!!!! so i wish to announce that i think the designer of this car should shove it back up his ass, from wens it came.
ugly & pointless
Errr have BMW not learned anything at all, X5 Useless as an offroader, X3 Ugly and Even worse offroad than the X5, did they really sit down at the board meeting and think “right lads those last two didn’t work but lets give this a shot eh?” This Coupe come SUV is appaling, and i must say in my opinion has replaced the Porsche Cayenne as the Ugliest and most Impractical, useless Car Built. But thats just my opinion.
Confirms my notion that they could put a BMW badge on a dead cat and (some) people would buy it.
agree with Tennshark; ugly and pointless
but this is a BMW so they’ll find a way to make it ‘works’
Simply looking at this car makes me womit.
I used to think that the Cayenne Turbo was useless, but now, with the X6, even that looks interesting. The single word to say about this car: “Why?”
Well – someone has finally out-done the Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharger in the pointless excess, moronic, chav, footballer (and his wife), fake tan, bling jewellery, road-hog, designer dog, designer kids, designer body, electric gates and more coachlamps than are entirely sensible stakes. The pinnacle of bad taste in all things – 10/10 BMW … WHY?
This should be the WTF winner car!!
Horrible
WHY wrong shape, wrong time, just wrong wrong wrong wrong.
If I bought this car my neighbours would punch me in the face.
By far the ugliest car ever made by BMW ! did the designer fall asleep at the pc? or was high on something? and to think that no one caught it and they actually built it! hummph
I see no X6s in Hong Kong Cause i know they are rubbish! What are cars for if its got 4 seats, why the hell is the car that big with such a small engine…. give me the 5.0 i drive this instant!
You know the end of the known universe is upon us when BMW build its own Ssangyong Actyon.
communists…
If i´d have to choose one of these to have on MY driveway, it would come down to this and the RangeRover and I´d probably end up buying the Rover because I like conservative things in general.The fact that the x6, as of today, has second most points on this wtf list is sad because it proves that most ppl here are lefties who will one dat end up banning the whole concept of private transport, and that will be a very, very sad day indeed…
btw which suv/sav isn´t big, POINTLESS and ugly ?
Looks preety gangster lol and thats always cool
Who did they build this thing for?
If I was the boss at BMW that rubber stamped the X6′s go ahead, they should be sacked! utterly utterly pointless, ugly as Shriek and driven by idiots! BMW should be ashamed of themselves!
What a total waste of time this car truly is. I took one of these out on a test drive and found absolutely nothing that I liked about it!
…for making the Cayenne look pretty in comparisson. Is this 1-upmanship gone mad? Did someone say ‘hey lets out-do Porsche in terms of ugliness.’ then worse, the BMW board agreed.
All the other contenders are at the bottom of their game and were trying to achieve a better car and failed.
While BMW who were at the top of their game have shot them selves in the foot. This often happens to those who start to believe they can do now wrong. Bunch of delusional idiots.
