I thought the X2 was going to be discontinued. We drove the previous generation when shopping for our CX-5. It was like driving a go kart. Really sporty and tight steering. My wife loved it. It however felt tight inside and did not offer the utility I needed.
So the increase in size and utility is welcome.
I love the looks of the old X2 and based on pictures I think I prefer it over the new one. But glad to see the BMW badge on C pillar is gone.
