Is it us or does it seem like carmakers are hitting their stride?  Our favorite so far?  The BMW X6.  Taking on the Porsche Cayenne is no easy task, but we think the X6 may’ve gotten it just right.

BMW X6 is trying to do away with S.U.V., calling the X6 not an S.U.V. but an S.A.V. (activity).  I guess they’re trying to connote the sportiness of their coupe truck.  Either way its a monster hit.  Recently winning the “Eyes on Design” Award at the North American International Auto Show, the all wheel drive beast is also green friendly boasting a so-called ActiveHybrid energy efficiency mode along with all of their fabulous specs.  Production begins mid-2009 so we can’t get our hands on it yet, and price is expected to be near $60K, but what a beauty.
