But to reinforce my initial comment, a lot of people dislike the X1 and view it as a bad concept in marketing. It has inept handling, non-existent off-road ability and is the ugliest car we have ever made.

Begs the question.....why?
If so many people don't like the X1 then why did BMW sell as many X1's as Cadillac ATS's in the fall? Both were new and both were available the same amount of time and about the same price. Obviously a lot of people like the X1. Great marketing concept in my opinion, majored in marketing in college and built a consumer goods company from $16 million to $180 million so I know marketing. Inept handling, pass the bong because your smoking something really good. Most BMW SUV's never go off road and most SUV's never go off road so what's your point?
Go buy a Chinese Volvo if you want, I personally don't want to support the Chinese (yes they own Volvo). Once they have to build product without Ford parts they will be SOL.
