BMW X6 ActiveHybrid to arrive by year's end

One of the vehicles we expected to see in Detroit somehow missed our radar. The not-so-green BMW X6 ActiveHybrid was previewed in COBO and we somehow missed it. Sure we've seen pics of this sports car/utility vehicle
After giving a walkaround of the BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid, BMW's Dr. Klaus Draeger gave some additional details about this upcoming hybrid hybrid. As we've told you before, the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid is a two-mode hybrid, and uses BMW's 4.4L V8 gasoline engine along with its electric assistant. Going hybrid increases fuel economy on this most oddly shaped BMW by a decent 20 percent, but that still puts the X6's mileage at just about 15 mpg/city. BMW promises that both the 7-series and X6 hybrids will be on sale by the end of 2009. Well, it's better than nothing we guess.

Another dreadful euro-barge , funny thing is where these cars,
the standard X6 that is, are selling .
I drove right across Germany ,north south and back again a
couple of weeks ago and did not see a single one on the road!
and last week drove from the UK across France and into Italy,
did not see a single one on the road in france ,yet here in Italy
saw 6 between mt Blanc and here where I live some, 150 KM !
It seems the Italians are one of the largest markets now in europe
for this type of car !
