I'm not mad or anything that BMW won, but I am just wondering why the X3 took the crown for reasons I mentioned in previous posts.

[superbiased BMW mode on]

Obvious isn't it:

- fun to drive
- good onroad
- diesel devil engine = fuel efficiency + lower CO2 + lots of towing torque
- saving Germany's honour in endurance offroad rally raid Dakkar 2007

Haha

Point taken, but the Paris-Dakar X3's were HEAVILY MODIFIED X3's.

Besides, I am a hardcore Mitsubishi Pajero enthusiast, especially these beauties: the Super Exceed models.

Re: BMW X3 named All-Terrain Car of the Year

X3 Voted All-Terrain Vehicle of the Year by European Magazine

Munich The BMW X3 continues to set the standard in the mid-size segment for off-road vehicles and SUVs. Europe's most widely sold all-wheel drive car magazine "Auto Bild Alles Allrad" invited readers to chose their favorite vehicles out of nine categories. With a 24.6 % share of the votes, the BMW X3 seized victory well ahead of the17 rivals competing in its class, thereby repeating its success achieved last year. Only a few weeks ago the compact BMW Sports Activity Vehicle was voted "Off-road Vehicle of the Year" by readers of the car magazine "Offroad".

A second place for the BMW 3 Series in the category "mid-size all-terrain vehicles" and a third place for the new BMW X5 in the category "high-end class off-road vehicles and SUVs" underlined the outstanding overall result achieved by BMW. The award will be presented to BMW during the motor show Auto Mobil International (AMI) 2007 in Leipzig, Germany.

The all-terrain vehicle of the year award for the BMW X3 also reflects the model's present success in terms of sales. 113,997 vehicles of this model were sold worldwide during 2006 - an increase of around 3% compared to last year. In Germany alone there were more than 23,000 newly registered BMW X3s, meaning that the vehicle managed to acquire a market share of 10.3 percent in the off-road segment.

Kudos, but it's still ugly.
