It's a very sexy car, IMO.
Wheels, I love them. And it's fast.

Based on the new 6 Series, the new M6 shares its drivetrain with the recently introduced M5. The new V-10 produces 500 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. Engineered to rev with a redline of 8,250, this new engine offers 100 horsepower per liter of displacement. Pure race-car territory.

From rest, 60 miles per hour is reached in well under five seconds. The rush of acceleration never lets up until the electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. The top speed may be limited, but with the speedometer reaching all the way to 205 mph, the mind conjures intriguing possibilities. To complement its performance potential, the M6 is equipped with generously sized high-performance brakes with cross-drilled compound brake discs.

The 6 Series incorporates impressive lightweight technology with extensive use of aluminum, as well as thermoplastics and sheet-molded compound. But with the addition of a carbon-fiber roof, the M6 takes weight-saving engineering to a new level.
Pictures of the Carbon Fiber roof here - way cool

Mea culpa. Saw that it has a CF roof. Hottt.

It's still a pig, though. Have you see a 6 on the road? That thing is immense...

Beemer
 

I'm not really a sports-car girl, but I really like that. It may be the color, though.

No doubt it's prohibitively expensive.

Beemer
 

Come on. Big baller like you can easily afford one. Figure if the new M5 is about $80-85k, this one will be a little more because of the coolness of the Carbon Fiber.

Beemer
 

Oh, honey, no, I can't afford that. Jesus. No fucking way. Unless I live in it, and I don't think my furniture will fit.

New XK
 

This is supposed to be very close to the next XK, which we'll be seeing soon. LOVE it.

Come on, think of how cool you'd look in that car. And oooh, oooh, comfortable. And fast.

Beemer
 

Cozy?

Beemer
 

Go way up on your price estimation. I'd guess around $110 or 120. The regular 6-series starts out at $70k, no frills or add ons, $76 with the nice stereo and the sports package.

Beemer
 

Way.

Beemer
 

Figures that the first time I like a sports car, it's super-expensive.

Luckily I like the Passat, too.

New XK
 

Yawn. Front end looks like a Taurus and the overall body shape is exactly like a Z350.
Probably has a ton of wood in the dash. Only redeeming part's the wheels. Which are probably a lot extra.

New XK
 

They redesigned the 350Z already?

New XK
 

Yes. They put a Taurus front end on it.

Jan. 17 issue - It's not as if General Motors doesn't have pressing business at home. The stock has fallen 50 percent since 2000, as sales shrink and market share dwindles. The mother company had to take over the imploding Saturn division last week. Yet, as his Detroit house burns, CEO Richard Wagoner Jr. is jetting abroad this week on a desperate mission to avoid buying the 90 percent of Fiat that GM doesn't already own.

The last thing in the world GM needs right now is to be saddled with a car company with worse troubles than its own. So what's going on?

In a strange deal cut five years ago, GM took a $2.4 billion stake in Fiat, and granted the Italian automaker a highly unusual "put option," which could force GM to buy Fiat outright. Privately, many in Italy believed it was a way for Fiat's proud patriarch, Gianni Agnelli, to prepare to dump the company without actually having to sell it himself. At the time, global mergers were all the rage, and Wagoner was apparently driven to grant the option out of fear that Daimler of Germany, which had just acquired Chrysler, would get Fiat, too. The option can be exercised starting on Jan. 24, and has the potential to produce a rare, perhaps unique, hostile takeover, in which the seller forces the buyer's hand.
Suckers.
