It takes 7-8 years from initial design to beginning of production so the X6 was around in 2002-2003 as a development concept. Back then SUVs were a hot ticket. The sales of smaller SUVs has actually been better because a lot of large SUV drivers have been downgrading. You also have to account the worldwide consumption, there is still a demand for large cars in the middleast and Russia. That region now has the money and the fuel to afford large cars.
