I don't get why people get all up in arms about this kind of thing.
They'll probably sell more of these than any other car in their line up and hopefully we will see the company able to take more chances and make more extreme cars.
For example; Porsche's #1 best seller in North America is the BASE Cayanne but still produce cars such as the 918.
I guess you could argue it dilutes the brand a bit, but that is BMW's call.

Also, Mercedes already has the B class. BMW is certainly not going to let Mercedes be the exclusive player in the category. With all the MINI variants that BMW has already built, I'm sure this 2 series Grand Tourer is just a bit of nip tuck here and there to get it to where it is.

Oh, I fully understand why manufacturers create vehicles like these but that doesn't justify it's ugliness. Ha!

I have nothing against "MPVs" like this one, but the thing is, at least get the proportions right. Even the Mazda 5 looks much prettier than this in my opinion, as well as the current-generation B-Class

people will just buy this just for the name, as it will be one of the least expensive models.
I can see this everywhere in Richmond soon, just like the Merc B-class

As for interior, I disagree with the looking like a Mazda inside. It actually does look quite refined offering the true BMW feel. I do wonder how it will drive though.
