Aine vernünftiger auto.
Still waiting for facts on the 523d engine.
The M-B 2,1 liter 204 hp and 500 Nm twin turbo diesel seems as the market best now.

im not liking it very much...and im not claiming to be smarter than BMW, but i personally feel this is a bad decision in terms of marketing. i feel this is kind of in the same class as the the 5 series touring. competition within ones own brand is not good. its cannibalization.

Hmmm a 5-Series Hatchback - I'm not crazy about the look but that's OK as I doubt it will ever make it to the United States!

One nice thing though - the GT is gonna get the new 530i engine! I.e. the twin scroll turbo, or "535i-light".

But for sure the GT will be for the whole world.
The car is close the 5 meters long (about +10 cm to the E60)
and the engines will be six cylinder ones.
The wheels on the GT Concept are 21 inches!
So it will cost a bunch more than the E60 or the new F10.

Don't like the side view, it looks as though BMW is trying to compete with Infiniti's FX. 
And as noted here before it is TOO much like the 5 wagon and X6 too!

Really ! ! !
Hatchbacks are not hot sellers in the USA either. But if it had better rearward visibility I'd give it a look.
