Although maybe its also ok to have models which differ so much, better not to follow the path of VW, where you can hardly distinguish the polo from the touareg. |

I really wanted to like the new X3 but the front end and weird curved creases along the sides ruined it for me. I prefer the front end and sheet metal styling of the X1. And kvetch all you want about how M Sport dilutes the M brand, I like the aggressive look of the body kit on the front. Looking forward to sitting in an X1 to see and feel the interior up close. Hoping the plastics aren't all hard and nasty. I like the slightly spongy feel of the dash material in my X5d. If they introduce a 30d version of the X1 M Sport here in the States, I'll gladly open my wallet. |

Materials are more in line with that in a 1-series. Quote:
I keep on hearing rumours about a performance X1 but still nothing confirmed.

Car looks cheap, and has no environmentally-conscious power. However, I can see your point about being a workhorse for everyday life. |

I don't really know what you mean by that but no I don't expect the X1 to handle as well as my 335 coupe, but I expect it to handle better than a lot if not most of the coupes on the road today. The 240 bhp turbo l4 was specifically put in this car so it would get great mileage and yet still deliver good power (it will probably be at the top of its class in mileage.) Is there any other reason to put a turbo 4 in any car?? Being in the US, I haven't driven one yet, but I have read several road tests from European sites, and they agree with my summary. As far as it looking cheap, I don't know what you mean by that. Do you mean compared to the luxury of your Jetta? I didn't call it a workhorse. I would not call it that at all. |
