nope. we have to settle for the x2.. you know.. the lifted version of this because americas and crossovers higher seating position easier to get in and out of because a majority of people are overweight and its too hard to stand up out of a sedan/hatch. blah blah blah...
it really is unfortunate because this could be a great competitor to the golf r/s3/a35

I actually don't think that the size or shape of the grill is bad here, it fits the car quite good IMHO.
I definitely have to take one more look on the rear though. Not saying it's ugly, but it just doesn't say "BMW" to me while I'm looking at these tail lights. |

Funny, I park my GTI next to an X2 frequently (and a GLA45) and neither are much, if any taller than my VW. Even BMW includes the X1/X2 in car sales, not SUV numbers. I realize the F40 (what a crime) will be slightly smaller, but calling an X2 an SUV is like calling an Escalade a compact car.

However, the Mini John Cooper Works GP will also come to the US with this drivetrain, minus the AWD. Not quite an equal to the Golf R since it will lack the AWD, rear seats (and the rear doors - although some would prefer that), but it is a hatchback in any case. |
