One of my former lead architects was talking to a director who made probably 3k what he did, and whose husband worked in finance, about buying one and her reaction was “oh, wow, that’s super bougie isn’t it”? I don’t know if that tempered how I look at them but I always think that they are driven by someone who wants people to think they are badass, trying too hard. They are just SO goddamn extra.

I also think they are ugly as shit.

It's a cool car but electric is the new BMW in 2020

Why the X6? I’d go for stelvio Quadrifoglio instead. X6 may seem special, but blends in pretty well.

That being said, my parents have the new X5 and like it a lot. I’ve got a stelvio ti and it’s the best car I’ve owned.
