The M135i is a 5 door beast thats fast for a hatch. They are already out here in Germany. They look sick in person especially in orange. <---might be one of those individual colors I saw at the Munich BMW meet.

Not much of a rivalry here in the US. The coupe will definitely win out, if only because we won't get the 135 and won't have the choice to make.
I guess here in the US, BMW doesn't want to put the 135 up against the VW GTI. Then again, do Americans buy hatchbacks? I don't really know. BTW, I thought BMW was giving two-door cars an even number. That hatchback sure looks like a two door to me. Oh, maybe the hatch makes it three-door???

??? Isn't the M135 shown with but two doors? Maybe that's not a production car? I was just going by the photos.

Audi A3 - although the new A3 will be sedan only in the US. VW Golf/GTI/Golf R - May be reason why A3 hatch is not really needed. Mazda 3/Speed 3 hatch WRX-Impreza/STI hatch Focus ST Fiesta ST Honda CRZ hatch Hyundai Veloster Turbo Mini Cooper Prius Hatch-put here to show how well hatches do sell. Volvo C30 Yes, people in the US do buy hatchbacks, and some sell very well. |

The coupe is more different from the hatch than I thought it would be.
