Good news for crossover fans, BMW plans to build an X2. The X2 is a sexier, sportier version of the X1, sharing many of the same parts but featuring all-new bodylines and styles. The U.S. version gets a turbo four-cylinder engine, which will send 228 horsepower to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. A 300 hp M-tuned version will also be available.
