In its place will be a smaller MINI model and equivalent BMW that will take the 1er name. There will also be an equivalent SAV model for the segment dubbed X-Cite.

This seems fairly positive to me - if - the 2er remains RWD. Can you comment on that?
I am also a fan of the current 1er hatch and wish it were sold in the US. I'd buy one in a heart beat. Perfect for the city.
The clubman is not bad, except for the barn doors reducing utility and rear visibility, and that back seat which is oddly like a rock in the rear part of the seat pan. It will still find many customers though.
