BMW X6 M or Mercedes AMG GLE 63?

So let me start by saying that both of these vehicles are amazing. They are both some of the most unnecessary and yet the coolest and most overdone SUV's. Let's start with the X6 M though because it was the first of its kind. It was the first "SUV Coupe", or the first vehicle to really have this look and form and go on the market. It is an M vehicle to it has lots of power and is crazy sporty for a BMW. This is why it became pretty popular. It is an extremely sporty SUV and it is just so unnecessary that it is awesome! They sold extremely well and this is why eventually, Mercedes decided to get out the tracing paper. They soon came out with the Mercedes AMG GLE 6
3 Coupe to directly rival the X6 M. In fact, the GLE looks exactly like the X6, just translated into the current Mercedes design language. As you can see here, they look very similar.

Since they look so similar, it's hard to say which one looks better. I think that on topic it is just a matter of opinion. Personally, I think that the X6 M looks a good amount better than its competitor. This is just a matter of opinion though and some people may see it differently.
Now, onto specs. Both of these vehicles have some really crazy specs. So, we'll start with the BMW. It has a 4.4 Liter, turbo-charged, V8 engine that creates 567 hp. That's is an insane amount for an SUV of this size. It does 0-60 in just 3.8 seconds. That is getting into sports car region. This SUV will top out at 156 mph though. The next is the Mercedes and this has a similar engine to the BMW. It has a 5.5 liter, turbocharged V8 as well, except its it bigger and makes 575 hp. It will do 0-60 in 4.3s though, which is significantly slower than the BMW. That's still quick, just not as quick. The Mercedes is also limited at 156 mph though they have a package that will limit it at 174 mph. That is an optional package.
I think that overall, the BMW is better. The X6 M has better looks, better specs, and is more extreme. The Mercedes may be more luxurious and sound better but they just cannot compete with the M cars. The specs for the X6 M, especially the 0.5 second difference in 0-60 times, is just too much. The AMG GLE is just too slow. AMG does make good engine that perform and sound awesome, but the M engine performs better. That is why the winner of this battle is the BMW.

The Chevy Colorado

The Chevy Colorado. This is the smaller size of truck that is made by Chevy. They have been being made for a while and they are arguably one of the best trucks on the road right now. The Chevy Colorado is rated as one of the best off road vehicles there is. In fact, it is rated number one on many websites! This is a crazy achievement that shows just how good this truck really is. It even beat out Jeeps and G-Wagons. Also, the cost of this off road truck is not too high. The base model of this truck starts at a rate of $20,000 though it does have a lot of options. A good 2018 Chevy Colorado will probably take you back about $24,000. However, that is definitely worth it.
The Colorado comes with a 2.5 L 4-cylinder that creates a 181 hp. That is not bad for base model and with that, you can do some pretty heavy work. You can spec it all the way up to 308 hp but that will cost you. The truck will do 0-60 in an extremely quick 7.1 seconds! Also, it has a top speed of 100 mph.
This truck looks great and rides well. In fact, after riding in one of these myself, I was very impressed! I think that this is one of the best trucks that there is and it will continue to get more popular in the years to come. This truck has everything! It has good looks, power, and off road capability. The Chevy Colorado is the ideal truck for anyone who is looking to get work done and have some fun on the side. This is really what makes the Colorado such a big and important vehicle.

Honda S2000

The Honda S2000 was a small sports car made by Honda as a competitor to the Mazda Miata. The Honda S2000 began production in the year 1999. It was the Honda sports car and people loved it. This is why it had a pretty long production run. It was in production from 1999 to 2009. It was in production for 10 years and it just kept getting better. Some people may not like the S2000, however, I think that it looks simply spectacular. It is a small car, just like the miata or the 124, and it has a small engine. All this means that it doesn't weigh that much at all and therefore driving this little car is extremely fun.
The little sports car was rear wheel drive. It was powered by a 2.0 L in-line four-cylinder engine that made 237 hp. Since the car was very small and light and also had a 50:50 weight ratio, it drove really well. It does 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. It was quick on the straights and controlled in the twisties. The engines on these cars, since they were Honda's, lasted quite a long time and that is why today you can get a S2000 from, say, 2004 that works perfectly. This is one reasons that these cars hold their value.

Another reason why so many people love this car is because of its looks. It looks phenomenal. For a company that made pretty average looking cars, Honda really stepped it up here. It looks small and sporty and like it would be fun to drive. I come as a convertible or a hard top and they both looks fantastic. This car is also very popular because of the way that many people mod it, or add after market parts. I think that, even though this car is not being made anymore, many of these will live on! Literally, because they are Honda so they don't die!

2018 Land Rover Defender V8

This year is the 70th anniversary of the original Land Rover defender and to honor that, Land rover has decided to release a special limited-run anniversary car. They are going to release a new defender. It will be completely updated and it will have a v8 engine. Unfortunately, they are only making 150 of these beauties for the entire world. I think that their value is going to skyrocket and getting your hands on one of these new Defenders is going to be very difficult. They are coming out this year and I'm not quite sure how the order system will work as far as who can buy them. It may just be first come, first served.
Anyway, let's talk about specs. As I've said, this is going to have a V8. It will be a 5.0 L naturally-aspirated V8 that makes about 400 bhp! That's a lot, especially for a Land Rover Defender. The thing also has a pretty quick 0-60 time. In fact, it will do 0-60 in just 5.6 seconds! That's insane! It is limited at 105 mph but with that crazy big engine, it definitely will go faster. These numbers make this the most powerful, stock, defender to ever be made and to ever hit the roads. It will also have the same crazy off-roading capabilities that the original defenders had, except, this one has more power. A lot more. It has upgraded brakes and also has upgraded automatic sports gear box. The tires are, of course, massive and perfect for off-roading adventures.
Just the specs make it sound awesome but wait till you see it! It has a stunning look and it is a truly beautiful vehicle. The have not released too much about the new Defender except for a video that shows the new one driving past old versions of the off-roader from the past 70 years. It is a good video and gives some stunning views of the vehicle that make it look really good. I think that this vehicle will become a very important part of Land Rover history and will also become a classic in the years to come. If one thing is for sure though, this Defender is awesome!

BMW M4 GTS

Only 700 made... For the entire world! That is the number of BMW M4 GTS' made. Only 300 were shipped to the US.This was a more race tuned version of their sports coupe, the M4. People had thought that, over the years, the M cars had gone downhill. They went from track cars that were able to be driven on a normal road to road cars that could be driven on a track. Many people didn't, and still don't, like this. M cars are supposed to be exciting and extreme and instead they are becoming more and more boring and dull. The M4 GTS, however, aimed to change that.
The GTS was released in 2016 and was a limited production run from M. It seemed like a shot at getting that M spirit back. It really seemed like a chance for the M line. The once truly revered BMW sports line. The M4 was supposed to bring all that back.. and it did. It had an 3.0 L inline 6-cylinder that created 493 hp. It created 442 lb ft of torque! this made the GTS extremely fast. It could reach 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds! That's really quick for a rear wheel drive car! The GTS has an est. high speed of 189.5 mph. So spec wise this car does really good. It has a lot of power and it is also very light. BMW took lots of steps to take weight off this car, and it worked. The performance, with stability control off, is excellent! It truly feels like an M car. It is extreme and exciting.

But it's not just the performance and specs that are extreme and exciting for this car! The car also looks spectacular! It looks extreme! The front end it lowered and has a carbon fiber splitter. The back of the car is fitted with a large rear wing for down force. Both are carbon fiber and look amazing! The tail lights are also made of special kind of LED and look really cool. The hood is redone and looks more extreme and the front end looks meaner and more aggressive. All this adds up to a pretty good looking BMW. I would say that this car is going to become a classic and it also shows us that there is still a little bit of the original M left at BMW.
