Some of you are making the argument that if you want sporty, you'll drive another of your quicker non-SUVs that day. Good point. But for many of us, we have one vehicle. And that vehicle has to be able to hold 6 (or 7) people. We want both luxury AND an exciting drive. And it seems to me that's what the X7 was meant for. It's a lot quicker and more fun than our friends' Escalades and more luxurious than most other SUVs out there.
To your point, my husband has quick cars: an M5, a 911 GTS, and a Ferrari 458 (edit: 488). Does he enjoy driving my X7? Not so much. But when we go on family trips and he has to drive a huge car, it's about as exciting a drive as he's gonna get. But he's not the kind of audience BMW was catering to with this car. I am.
