Honda etc. make great front wheel drive cars. Why pay for a BMW that is merely emulating one of theirs?
Now if they had built the GC on the bones of the 2 series, that would be a car that I would like. But...if I had wheels I would be a trolley car.

The front drive based X1 and X2 built on the mini platform actually handle pretty good. They retain some if that BMW handling characteristic just in a different form factor. This is meant to be a mass market practical car more than an enthusiast car. There will be a coupe that remains rear drive on the same platform as the 3 Series with a shorter wheel base.
