Im sure it makes them money right now and makes them think they’d lose money if they cancel it but seriously who will refuse a X3/X5 unless they make it with a smaller roof..? If you’re one of these people please please just explain why… I genuinely just want to know what the thought process is there. Because I get it.. sitting higher is a legit preference.. but sitting higher with less rear visibility..? huh?
This is super easy to answer. Because some people think it looks cooler.

I have a friend who’s in his 60’s and he’s pretty tall. I haven’t asked, but I’m confident he picked an X6 because it’s easy for him to enter and exit and because it looks sportier than a X5. He has no kids or pets to haul around. Just his own ass. X6 fit the bill for sporty looks and easy on the knees.
