Don't let the curb weight scare you.
This car has insane engine, active/adaptive suspension and one of the most advanced AWD systems in the world. I believe X6 is the only car in BMW lineup to use the new rear torque-biasing differential.
Taking all that and set of super wide tires, it can keep up with any sedan on the road.

If you say Foza is better than Gran Turismo youare retarded. Ivan probably didn't play Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo is known as the first game with realistic physics. Forza, Grid, and NFS are too cartoony and unrealistic to compare physics with PGR and GT. GT has the best driving physics, and graphics, and most other games make me feel dizy after playing them for 10 minutes because they feel druggy. GT feels very natural in all aspects.

The only retard here is you for putting NFS in same sentence as Forza.
I've been playing GT series since the original game came out back in '97. I got GT2 the day it came out and in a lot of ways it was improvement over the original.
Starting with GT3 Sony really slowed their progress with GT series. Improving graphics alone does not warrant good game, and GT3 was a step back from GT2 with better graphics.
So, Sony got lazy and MS outpaced them with Forza series. Forza 2 is much better and has much more fluent feel to it than GT4 (I played both on 360 and PS3). GT4 has same old crappy control to it, just like it was back in '97. I don't think Sony improved number of factors they take into account, same engine they used 12 years ago.
So I was GT fan up to GT2, till Sony got lazy and slow.

I was there
R u in denial?
I saw the video (which happens to be of really good quality for amateur), and one person got hit by rear fender despite trying to jump out. I don't know if person was badly injured, but it definitely looked real.
As for the 2nd person under the fallen light pole. I can't say anything, since it was out of focus, but It would be hard to slip intentionally under the heavy light pole.

If you live in NYC area crown victoria signal markers are things of past. I personally witnessed cops and hwy patrol to use unmarked camry, yellow taxi and bunch of other civilian cars. And yes, they stop you for braking traffic laws, they are not undercover detectives.
And I bet hybrids are not designed to do 50K+ miles a year, don't tell me about saving my money.

They promise V6 to be like V8 and I4 to be like V6, does that mean that by 2012 we can expect 330hp, 300lb turbo i4 engines?

Everyone pulled out of WRC. Very sad. Ford and Citroen are the only manufacturer teams left.

This is as real as it comes. In USA there's much higher chance of Smart hitting H2 or another oversized SUV.
Here in NYC, I see one or two smarts a day, but at the same time half a dozen SUVs parked on any given block.
It's called denial. It's different for Europe, where you don't have parkways every 5 blocks with SUVs routinely going 40-50mph within a foot from you.

What a joke. Whole Scion brand is a big joke. Sure it's a nice small car, but come on, you can't customize it at all, there's nothing out there. Rims and exhaust tips.
Toyota is willing to completely rebuild car's drivetrain to keep the scam going.
Here is an idea, how about GM puts H2 in drift series and markets it as performance SUV.

I have to admit I went to see it too. It was worse than expected, even though opening scene was pretty good.
The most surprising car I saw in movie? Ford RS200, I could not believe my eyes. Let that be a lesson to Hollywood - even crappy car movie can gross 80mill; time to make some quality car movie.

M-version? You gotta be joking. That's why we have MB and BMW. Don't go there Nissan . . .
