Not likely, we've got a silver 5-door driving around here too. I've seen it a couple of times. The owner imported it last year from Germany.

Its true. But they haven't set a release date. I am waiting for the 120d 5dr. 60.1mpg FTW.

The benzine model will be released well before the diesel though:(

[LEANE30]

lame.

i want to see the diesels over here but no 5door - looks stupid, i'd rather see a 2dr hatch

[damith]

the ONE

no i want the 3-door one

[Turf1600]

That's a gayer version of the m coupe IMO. The 5 door is great though

[Jon325i]

^^^^ Agreed x 10000000. With fuel prices showing no signs of slowing down, a economical diesel hatch could take the wind out of VWs sales when their new TDIs arrive later this year - they are only offering the diesel in the Jetta sedan and Sportwagon (both still cool IMHO), but an eco-hatch would get my vote.

I too am awaiting a 120d to be available stateside... It is time for more oil burners.

[cferb]

Screw that, I want the 3 door

[Coco Savage]

5dr would be total WIN!

[TwoJ's]

Those are both amazingly more ugly than the "coupe".

[xLibelle]

120d please

[StereoInstaller1]

Both push the "Ugly Bar" higher.

When I worked at BMW, this one guy had a grey 120d, 5 door, he had a Consul license plate so he had diplomatic immunities hah, it looks really good in white IMO

[soul rebel]

Both push the "Ugly Bar" higher.

Yeah but just imagine the bass!

I want one, make it a 135i 3 door.
