It definitely has the potential to do that, though BMW may try to downplay its role in the lineup through marketing since it is quite likely the margins on it are less than the X3. Also, it is a little older vehicle and this could turn some people off a bit, so it might need to wait for the second generation to really see sales take off.

I am still dying to know more about the diesel model for the US. If they bring the rumored new ~215hp 25d model here, it will be a big winner. Even the existing ~200hp 23d model would be great.
