It is what it is, but I’ve got to say, if you can get equivalent or better performance from an suv chassis, the convenience of the ground clearance (even just parking lot curbs), visibility from higher driving position, etc aren’t all bad things...judging by the RS5 sport back, the weight savings and handling isn’t that dramatically different to demand a more car-like platform.
I go into turns expecting the suv body roll, but it just isn’t there. Back when I was younger and stupider, I used to do some pretty insane driving in an suv, but I knew that vehicle’s limits in and out - when the back would swing out, how hard push to get it to go sideways without upsetting the balance, etc. but I don’t that on a public road anymore so need to get the X3M broke in and get to a skidpad to really see what it can do.
