Audi has not certified the Q3 with CARB. Until they do, it has no chance of coming here.
At least the X1 has passed that hurdle, so it still has a chance. Last edited by Penso di no; 08-18-2011 at 10:06 PM.. |

This noncommital stuff sure is frustrating. If it were completely cancelled for the US I would expect them to say so. I can't imagine why they'd refrain. This is almost as bad as the pathetic Saab saga. Neither one will completely die, but neither is showing many life signs either.....

If BMW insists on waiting to introduce the X1 to the US market, they won't have to worry about production capacity at Leipzig since those that need to replace their current vehicle will already have done so with another brand. Which is good news for the rest of us who aren't on any time table constraints and can afford to play the waiting game. ....
Wonder if this whole thing is sort of like the concert promoter who promised Beatles fans a reunion concert if they bought tickets in advance and some people are still waiting for the band to take the stage in-spite of the fact that John & George are no longer with us. We may just have to face reality and prepare ourselves that the X1 may never come to the US market. The more I think of it, the more I'm getting in feeling that BMW is treating the US market like the ugly stepchild. I think I'll stop now......

Yes, but the next generation X1 will be the size of the X3, the X3 will be the size of the X5, and the X5 will have 18 wheels!

No prob. You probably saw them in SD since they wandered over the border from Tijuana. Yeah, Mexico and Canada has em but we get the shaft. If they ever reinstate the draft, we can all move to Canada and drive X1's!

About the only BMW I've seen come across the border is the 1-series hatchbacks that we don't have in the US.

Spotted a black X1 this AM in metro Detroit area at the local Starbucks. I would have snapped a better pic but he was pulling out and I was pulling in... it caught me by surprise to say the least.

I realize it was a quick look, but did you happen to notice if the tags were US or Canada?

Good catch, Agent11br.
I'll betcha that was a Canadian model. That's nice, but I'll bet that the owner paid as much for that as an X3 28i in the US (not that that fact would stop me from preferring the smaller, more nimble X1). Canadians get totally jacked on pricing (along with the ROW I guess ). |

Likely a Candian model. Windsor is just on the other side of the Detroit River, and those sneaky little bastards sneak over all the time.

I'm holding out for the X1 figuring they will release it for the US market eventually. Don't know how much longer I can take riding around in my E92. Geez, it's been 4 1/2 years that I've been saddled with it...
