4. Unlike traditional SUVs which are derived from the body-on-frame construction of light trucks, vehicles in the sports activity family are crossovers that are based upon unibody car platforms. BMW emphasized their sports-car like on-road ability, helping to distinguish this new series from others. The sports activity nomenclatures are indicative of the reality that for the most part, the vehicles are more "activity" based than "utility". The sports activity family of BMW automobiles are grouped by their X-series branding.
4A. The X1 is based on a 3 series Touring platform far from an SUV "friend".

5.It is hilarious to see that people assume that the guy from the other side of the forum has no experience; maybe the judgment is based on the number of posts on this forum?

6. Subject closed for me; I wouldn't spend my energy on such vehicle or brand.
I just don't see how the headlamp copies Audi and how the tail copies BMW. Please post side by side pictures to make your point. I really want to see, cuz I have to admit i don't follow the intricate styling details of every car out there.

and... BMW does not own orange... With your line of thinking, BMW copied this then...

SAV unique to BMW? No kidding. An SUV with 4 seats and call it a coupe cross-over... X5 drop one seat and sell it for more... Definately unique marketing for the rich, that's for sure.

For the masses who wants affordable sports, arguably better engineered than the Porsche Cayman? You have the Toyobaru.
