They can say whatever they want, I'm never buying one of these fugly monstrosities. I may go to Audi, I may go to Benz, or I may even go to Cadillac. But I will not buy one of these.
So consider me gone. |

S:
yeah. i spent the weekend reading that issue of Roundel. 'was pretty impressed with the writeup. i will gladly reconsider my opinion when i get to see the car myself in person also. i always thought the old 6 series was funny looking so it's fitting if, in my mind, the new one is still funky, also. in the end it matters not. i cannot imagine many of us, who already think that the 3 series is portly, would be the demographic for the 6 series. something even bigger and heavier just isn't my cup of tea, no matter what it looks like.

Yeah, the 6 is bigger, but heavier? It's only about 75 lbs more than a loaded E46 M3, and the same power and significantly more torque. Are you telling me, if you were given the choice to have more interior space, more trunk space, while only increasing the mass MARGINALLY you wouldn't want a car like this? Hell, I'd lose 75 lbs first from my *ss before I'd worry about that 75 lbs heavier than a 3 series. Heck, the new 6 is lighter and quicker than the old 6.

I have, in principle, no objection to a slightly larger coupe than the E46, and BMW has done well with keeping the weight down for such a big car. |
