Amid a morning of rumors concerning the company’s plans for the near future, BMW chief Norbert Reithofer delivered a speech to the supervisory board outlining company goals for the next five to ten years.

Reithofer confirmed plans for several vehicles that will help the company reach its target of selling two million vehicles per year by 2020. The X1 crossover will join the recently-announced X6 as an addition to BMW’s successful SUV/CUV range, as well as a Mini-based SUV.

The BMW Gran Turismo, a four-door coupe, is being developed based on the CS concept shown at the Shanghai Auto Show. A third variant of the Rolls-Royce Phantom will be developed, as well as a new, sub-Phantom Roller.

Reithofer also mentions exploring a new segment with what he calls a Progressive Activity Sedan, or PAS. Of this, the BMW CEO only tells us to expect the unexpected, calling the concept “its own interpretation of the sedan,

Please tell me that tne Mini SUV is some kind of Oktoberfest prank.

I promise I'll think it's funny. Sports-activity vehicle? Okay, chortle-chortle, cute picture, really funny, dudes. Back to reality.

This IS a joke, right?

I look forward to the upcoming MINI SUV. I have been spoken to by individuals,on my rare days,that I have to fuel up,of folks who want a MINI;but,their lifestyles(i.e. children,job,etc.)don't allow them to get one.

Also,It's worth noting,that great car brands change with the times,while keeping the essence of what made them special. Porsche is proof of that.

What's up with the "666" on that euro plate. Bad omen? :P

The most exciting thing on that list is probably the 4 door coupe based on the CS concept, because that thing looked awesome.

Blah. This MINI concept just looks like a downsized version of the [Spyker SSUV](http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/11/1113_supercars/image/spyker_slid...)

What is it with the Germans infatuation with SUV's? First Porsche, a brand that used to mean high performance uncompromising sportscars builds that ugly porker the Cayanne and now MINI. Issigonis must be spinning in his grave.

Добрый вечер
Хочу купить мужские часы, но не оригинал, а одну из копий дорогих брэндов. Сильно ли они плохие?
Я думаю, что качество даже получше, чем обычных китайских часов, что везде продаются у нас.
У кого есть опыт покупки, какие плюсы или минусы такого выбора?
