I actually like it, excluding the all-black interior which looks super-boring. Overall the exterior looks quite nice, better than the X3 anyways. The interior in two-tone looks quite nice as well. RDX sales are really going to suffer.

How anyone can claim that it looks like anything but a BMW is beyond me.

I like it. I really want to see how this segment shapes up. There seems like there'll be a lot of overlap with the closest segment to them (I want to compare interior dimensions between the X1 and X3, should be extremely close). The German 3 almost have a vehicle in ever SUV segment save BMW, if only they had an X7.

Extremely Compact Ute's: The X1 v. the Q1 v. the Mercedes BLK

Compact Ute's: The X3 v. the Q3 v. the GLK

Midsize: the X5 (though it's a fair bit larger than it's competitors) v. the Q5 v. the ML

Full Size: the Q7 v. the GL

Although technically I would call the X1 a raised wagon than anything else.

Sadly, you are probably right.

Just another entry level vehicle that people can badge ***** themselves out to.

Whatever douche...I mean executive, that approved this and the GT better not have any say in the upcoming M5.

Another BMW SUV... seriously?

Are people asking for this?
Are people still buying SUVs?

I will say it is "less ugly" than the X3.

lol why have this and the X3. they are like the same. they should get rid of the X3. the front is okay, the interior is typical bmw, and the rear is the ugliest part

People didn't ask for an X6 along with the so-called "GTs" but they built it.
XO is coming next

I would take Q5 or GLK over this X1 in a heartbeat.
