As neither of those conditions apply, the GC has the task of satisfying a wider range of buyers in the showroom than it did previously, including when it arrives as the new i4.

There are thousands of GT's available as CPO, throngs of them very low mileage, you could buy two of them, put one in storage, and be good for a decade and a half.
The GC succeeds because it looks so damned good. It wasn't purchased because of its utility. If we wanted utility, we'd have just bought a GT or an X3. If we wanted maximum rear passenger comfort, we'd have stuck with our boring 3 Series. The mojo of the GC is that it allows traditional 3 Series owners to trade utility and rear passenger comfort for something more important- sexy design. It's like an M-Sport package atop an M-Sport package.
