Our customers would rather have the X5 just as Mercedes customers eventually leave with the GLE. It s exactly what is happening between the F31 and current X3. Throw in the 3er GT with its practicality and appearance winning favour and you can see why a more sportier but still a crossover concept the forthcoming X2 will cover the lifestyle bases.

Your non loyal customers will prefer a X-car but your loyal customers for the touring will go see elsewhere. Remember that a large % of X-car buyers are just looking for the cheapest lease payment.
