THEY ARE INFECTING MY MIND.

16

F16 production has started.

I want to hate them. I want to be furious that they exist. And I was almost able to cement that opinion in my mind.

Then I started seeing M50ds in the gorgeous red above. My opinion started to falter. Anything with M50d on the back can't be all bad. Even if it is a stupid hunchback.

Then, today, I saw a full-bore f16 X6M, in some derivative of Laguna Seca Blue.

That growl. The wheels. The brakes. The body mods. For a brief moment, I wanted one. I actually wanted to pay money for an X6.

I hate myself.

Blah. Here and I clicked, half-hoping it was something about an updated F-16 (something along the line of the F-16I, combined with vectored thrust) was being produced to replace some of the clusterfucks we've come up since.

Oh well.

I'm usually in lockstep with Oppo crowd on what is cool, crap and in between but when it comes to the X6 I was baffled to find that it was derided. I love them. I'll just never get how an Audi wagon=cool, but an X6=bad. Oh well, different strokes.....

I think it comes down to paying more money for less car. With the X6 you get the practicality of a sports sedan and the performance of an SUV. With the Audi wagon (or any wagon) you get the practicality of an SUV and the handling of a sedan.

I suppose this where my complete and total lack of practicality as a marker for scoring a car come into play. My grading is based almost entirely on looks and performance relative to the purpose of the vehicle. I'll be the first to admit that my grading has not always served me well. Exhibit A: The BMW Roadster that did not hold golf clubs, or a cooler, or anything larger than a briefcase.......... My track record is spotty at best, but my driveway usually elicits compliments.

I know that feel. My opinions vary quite a bit from some of the status quo of Jalopnik. You are getting a lot of negative feedback in the comments lol.

I'm not a huge fan of the F16, more-so neutral.

I'll agree that if you just let go of the constraint of practicality the argument collapses. And they're definitely batshit crazy, so from that point of view I'm surprised they don't garner at least occasional respect.

I want to wait till depreciation makes them stupid cheap and then cut one up into some sort of crazy pre runner thing.

it's all in good fun, I know they're probably the third least popular bmw model and first least popular to wear an m badge, and I think they've earned their place at the bottom of the barrel in a lot of respects. But they're definitely absurd, and I like absurd things, so I'll never fully hate them.

I like the e71 better, though.

I still like the x6. Overpriced as hell, but I like it a bunch better than the other X's.

Welcome to the dark side, muahahahahah. Although given an option, I'll take the X5M for more practicality.
