The disinterest is in the nomenclature:
X - Another big boxy suv, among the multitudes already available from every manufacturer
8 - Will carry a price tag that many people won't want to pay
M - Will likely be capable of generating 975 hp at 2000 rpm, but due to the two preceding letters, it's relegated to being a mere curiosity instead of a real world interest.
