With the Volkswagen group expanding its model lineup considerably, it’s no wonder German rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz are following suit.

Last year BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer said his company will create a new segment and introduce its own interpretation of the humble sedan, meet the BMW Progressive Activity Sedan or PAS in short.

Unfortunately Mr Reithofer was unclear as to what exactly BMW plans to do with the PAS since it’s apparently not a sedan, nor a wagon, nor an SUV etc… The PAS will join the BMW X1 as part of the company’s new range of small life-style activity vehicles.

There are currently no confirmed release date for the PAS, but it should arrive in European showrooms early next year with Australian deliveries most likely to follow soon after.
