Just what the world needs, more SUV's . At least these aren't massively oversized pigs like most SUV's. And if BMW is smart, they'll make them as fuel efficient as possible.

 

actually they still weight alot!... even though they are smaller in size....

 

shouldve just brought over the 1 series hatch, would handle better and be the same size as a X1

 

He said stationwagons (which haven't been called stationwagons for 20 years BTW) are decreasing, citing that wagons aren't popular.

But actually, wagons/hatchbacks have been increasing in sales quite rapidly in the last few years.

 

Here is a new spy vid of the BMW X1 in action.

Apears to be the same size as the 08 Rav4..

 

I think it will sell even for BMW.
