Those will be sick, I like the X5, but a X5M will be way pricey compared to the GCSRT8.

Yeah, at least double the cost of a GC SRT8.

Twin turbo 4.4 V8 is sick though........just think of the tuning possibilities.

Yes, I agree the cost will be prohibitive BUT I am sure that the vehicle will be 'better' made. No cheap @ss interiors finishes

not a big fan of the crossovers....the audi Q7 V12 on the other hand is a beast to recon with. ;)

Not worried look how much HP the Cayenne Turbo S puts out and the Jeep still beats it in the 1/4

Sorry Chris, gotta disagree. Everyone who has ever seen the X6 in person says the same thing.... looks like the one in the back of the short bus that even the retarded kids won't play with.

Porsche already tried the TTV8 AWD SUV that tops 5000lb. They may have superior interiors and more complex suspensions, but all that comes at a heavy price and a heavy weight. It'll be another $100,000 uber-SUV from Europe that a 2006 SRT8 Jeep spanks off the line like a West Virginia stepchild.

The front end of that looks pretty good, but that is one ugly rear end. Looks like old school Pontiac body cladding everywhere. Kinda like an Aztek on roids.

I am sorry, but that is one big ugly ass! :eek:
Hamann went waaaay too far with that one.
Maybe not as bad as an Aztek, but it sure doesn't have the clean body lines of most Bimmers.

finally someone admits!! yes, a x5 m-version would be pretty sweet. i always like the older 4.8's

If my finances go as planned, I am going to get one of these X5 M's. Yeah yeah... Jeep is best bang for buck BUT... with the X5M you get the best of both worlds. Performance and PIMP

The only Bimmer I would want would be a Dinan M6 with the 600+hp. Way too much money though!!!

what about the GPower Hurricane? It'll smack that Dinan M6's pretty little arse doing 223mph with 4 doors!!!
