A quick look at 28 new luxury vehicles to watch out for in 2010

2011 BMW X1
BMW has, officially, gone utility-crazy. The X5 was the first salvo, followed by the smaller X3. OK, keeping up with the Joneses and all that. Then came the peculiar X6 and now, the small X1. Based off the same platform as the upcoming Mini crossover (BMW owns Mini), the X1 slots below the X3 and is currently available in Europe with a variety of efficient diesel and gasoline engines. BMW hasn't said what will power the U.S. versions, but with the company's recent forays into diesel powerplants, it's possible an oil-burner could be in the offing at some point.
