I saw the new X6 Hybrid this weekend

Long story short, I was in a rest stop along NJ turnpike and just as we were pulling out we saw this silver X6 with BMW roundel tapped up and has the word Hybrid Vehicle across the rear and side door panel. It has a CA plate, I wonder if it might be some car magazine testing out the car.

I managed to parked in front of him, waited til the owner went into the building and walking around the car, the interior looks like a regular X6 but they use black tap to completely covers the BMW roundel in the front & the rear really make me curious...

Now should I sell the pictures to the car website?

Thats a cool sighting. However, when i think of that car, I think of all the money the could have spend towards M cars instead of hybrids. I don't get the x6 hybrid, as its not going to be fuel efficient one way or another because its a big car and the gas engine will still be somewhat powerful.
