The Q3 is on a ssslow boat from Germany... AND it will likely only come w/the standard issued [211hp] 2.0 TFSI VW/Audi engine, not the [315hp de-tuned] 2.5 TFSI used in the TTRS.

The Countryman is Large for a Mini, however it is not in the same segment as this x-car. The direct competitor size wise to some of the cars you are referring to is the possible X3 M35i, and the upcoming X4 & X4M. The Evoque is overpriced, and underpowered, and is simply a glamor-mobile.
