The big questions are whether there will be a 6 cylinder engine in this car and whether or when there will be a coupe. The coupe issue seems to be clouded by the possibility of a 2 series and a movement of the 1 series to FWD. For all we know, the F20 will be the last RWD 1 series and the replacement for the 1 series coupe (if any) will be very different from what we are used to now.
There is a clarity regarding the 3 series sedan with a coupe to follow a year later, but the 1 series coupe remains shrouded in mystery.
Will the hatch come to the US? Conventional wisdom would say no, but look at the new Lexus hybrid luxury hatch.
