I think it may have been the new X6,but they wouldn't say.
They had the people compare it to 4 other SUV's.
Land Rover-Sport,Porche-Cayenne,Infinity,and X5.
All vehicles were in bland dark grey.
The concept BMW was about the size of an X5.
The rear roof line slanted down like the Infinity.
Very sharp and agressive looking.
It did make the X5 look a little dated.
I rated the concept best of the bunch and the X5 still was second best to me.
No cameras or cellphones were allowed.So no pictures.
They did pay me $150. for my time.

I did one of those things here and they had the X3 and competitors there. It's fun to see what kind of options and designs automakers are contemplating in the future. Plus the 150 bucks wasn't bad either. :D

What were the engine sizes for these SUVs? And why were the main reason you rated the concept to be the best?

Thanks.

They didn't give any engine sizes on any of the vehicles.
I'm sure you'll have engine options.Or maybe it will be an "M" series.
They were judging on looks alone.I liked it because it got away from the boxy style.It looked fresh,agressive and fast.It had the wide 4.8 style tail pipes,and the fastback roof line.
I would definitely consider getting one.When asked,I valued the base price at around 60K.
