It's not that I want it to be anything. But if I call it a duck, my friends will still see a small SUV. Isn't it Forester sized anyway, another car frequently called an SUV that is 99% wagon.

I admit that the X1 is based on an E91, shaped like a wagon, but pitched as an SUV. If it weren't, it would be called something without an X, it's not like BMW doesn't have enough names to cover it. A 1GT would have worked if someone really though it was a wagon.
