When I heard the 16 X1 was FWD/Fake AWD, first thing I did was go buy 15 sDrive. FWD and Haldex are epic fails when throwing the car into corners and not being able to accelerate out. The understeer leaves no confidence. That being said, the new X1 will probably get larger market acceptance due to its interior size. BMW's saving grace is the 3/5 series GT but they cost a boatload more.
Another thing I liked about the existing X1's is that it's high off the ground but with low seating position. New X1 has higher seating position and is definitely going to feel more like an X3 than a 3 series.
