Just a couple months ago (5 months to be exact), Motor Trend called the 2009 BMW X6 “pointless.” Well it seems like they had a change of heart and have made the X6 a contender for their 2009 SUV of the Year award.

Back in May, Motor Trend “wondered whether deep down the BMW engineers, car guys all, thought the X6 a waste of their talent.” The magazine wrote: ”You see, good as it is, the X6 is still a truck. A perfectly pointless truck.”

Well it doesn’t seem so pointless anymore. We’ll find out exactly what Motor Trend thinks of the X6 when they announced the winner on Oct 16th.

    I am sure x6 will not win the suv award, WHY, because the FX won the competition against the x6.

    And if they let the x6 win, then every1 will say why the fx won the competition before

    The thing is, most luxury SUVs and trucks are pointless. So this doesn't really surprise me. Also, its not been a big year for truck and SUV launches, so maybe they just needed another contender to round out the runnings.
