I understand the marketing reasons for this, but why make something that could so easily have a Volvo or VW or Skoda badge on it - externally at least...

What about something sporty and aspirational?

If Bmw decided in the 80'ies only to produce high performance cars, there would be no BMW today.
The winning answer.

I would buy one. Actually... I'd buy the 5-seater version.

Would I drive anything with a BMW badge on it? With BMW's current lineup? Yup, absolutely.

I can imagine myself having a 4 car garage. I'd have a Estoril Blue 225i M Sport Active Tourer, next to my current M235i. I'd also have a M2 in Long Beach Blue. In my 4th car garage, I'd have my motorcycle toys. There'd be a BMW C650 GT scooter, next to my S1000RR, S1000R, R Nine T, R1200 GS, and then finally the new R1200 R.

I can dream right? But I digress. The reviews on the new 2-series Active Tourer are quite favorable for BMW. If you need a car in this segment, I bet this car is the one to have. That is, if you NEED one in this segment.

I would have a BMW R1200GS a M2 coup and a M235i convertible as well a Jeep Wrangler.

Not even close, I think it's an affront to the brand here. Simply saw the article and since it was related I shared.
