Further confirmation of the delayed USA launch. Earliest is now September.

Interesting that they say that they need a minimum 8000 sales a year. This is very, very low. Wonder if BMW are not sure it will sell in NA?

PS: And another article http://www.carblog.co.za/2011/01/14/...aunch-delayed/

As I said before, you cannot compare the X1 to the Q5 but some comments on those articles do. So, just for the moment, I would like to challenge anyone --- Take the two for a back to back test drive on various road conditions and then answer the following question, which one is the better drive? Go ahead, try it. Then when you are done compare the two on price, like for like

.... and then tell me straight that the X1 is not the better car.
