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.

SUVs are as popular as stationwagons right now; the demand is rapidly decreasing...

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.
