By 2011, Audi Q3 will be out.
Small premium SUVs occupy a small niche market, and the small pie created by X3 is increasingly being slided by MB GLK, Audi Q5, Acura RDX, Infiniti EX, and Volve XC60. Well the pie may be getting bigger because of the economic crisis, but not at the same rate as new products are introduced.
Since MY 2011 X3 will show up in 2010 in the U.S., by staggering the product release BMW will get more interest from the public for the MY 2012 models.
I'm pretty sure a turbo will be available, and hopefully 6MT will be too.
