If a the x1 is a must, I'd opt for a gently used one.

I wouldn't say it's a must, but I would like a new car by Jan 2015.
I would wait for the 2016 x1 new gen, but it doesnt even seem to be even announced yet. I highly doubt it would be available for sale or in showroom anytime soon.
As for the GLA45 AMG, while it's nice, but like what the other poster mentioned above, it relatively more expensive than a X1 with similar specs.
I will be financing the x1. Its now 1.9% in Canada, and GLA45 AMG is probably like 4.9% (not confirmed). So the financing alone will be a big difference.
Also, I am not sure if I want to go with a first-gen first year model...
