Tony is right, there will be no 1-series hatchback in this country.

"Tom Purves, CEO of BMW of North America LLC, said the U.S. market will get only one body style of the 1 Series - not a hatchback - and two engines, most likely six cylinder."

We're definitely getting the car but obviously BMW would rather not sell a hatchback in the USA given the reception of the 318ti.
