Trucks handle for shit, have the mpg of Jupiter, and look like Ted Cruz’s ass with the beard transplanted on it.
It’s not the size of most even small SUV’s. It’s big. Yes. It’s five series big. It’s an executive sedan designed for a family of four and all their luggage for a two week vacation. It fills a niche that many appreciate, me included. Not for everyone. That’s the reason they don’t sell well. Plenty of people are okay with a vehicle that handles for crap. Many of us aren’t. BMW’s SUV’s are better than most. But as good as an M estate? No way.

Well said Shawn. I’ve had a few SUV’s, and they all handled like shit (even an X5M goes round corners like you’re driving on custard, when pushing on). I’m not into all this hybrid nonsense, but the M5 Touring has my interest. Unlike the bloated cartoon RS6, which just looks ridiculous.
