New BMW X2 makes North American debut in Detroit

Is it a really compact SUV or a too tall hatchback? Either way, the 2018 BMW X2 looks fantastically well suited for urban American cities.

The premium crossover is pretty small for an SUV, sitting 3 inches shorter and 3 inches lower than the X1.

Though based on a front-wheel-drive platform, the new X2 will come standard with all wheels driven.

The scale of the X2 feels more "hatchback" than "SUV," but BMW's betting that active urbanites will be more drawn to the latter.

Inside, the cabin is pretty standard fare BMW, which means premium materials and smart design.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
