Bah, I'll drop it and stop screaming at the radio. People can drive what they want, but if someone does buy one of these, I just want to know why...
Maybe they like coupes more than CUVs, but need the practicality of CUVs? 
Most of the "swoopy" CUV/SUVs are actually really small inside. The massive on the outside and horrendously over-weight X6 is shockingly small inside. Practical? Not really.
EXACTLY. Go sit inside one of these things, it will shock you how small they are despite their outside proportions.
Again, it is not a coupe, nor is it practical. All it has going for it is a high riding position, which if you look at it, not really, as most of these things are slammed down on huge wheels anyways, and have really high beltlines killing the greenhouse area and any visibility advantage these might have over a car. I guess there is ease of entry still...but how hard is it to get into a traditional CUV? Also, the back is not easy to get into, as the sloping roofline knocks your head every time you get in and out. Forget sitting in the back if you are over 6ft...
They are no safer than cars [crash tests, nor visibility are better - see above], nor are they quieter - especially with those huge wheels and low profile performance tires. A traditional CUV has a better hatch area as well.
Really, these things have no redeeming features other than perceived sportiness vs traditional CUVs, and then it is like throwing out the burger to get the tomato inside...and finding out there is no tomato - because these are no sportier than a performance version of a traditional CUV.
