Lets rename the Active Tourer...I mean the 2 series

I think about 90% of us hate the idea of calling the Active Tourer a part of the 2 series lineup. Personally I don't see anything wrong with BMW expanding their lineup but it just makes zero sense to me why they would call it a 2 series. I don't see how BMW gains anything by diluting both the AT line and 2 series coupe.

So my question is what do you think BMW should call the Active Tourer? I've put a couple of options on the poll but feel free to add your ideas in the comments.

Its so simple:
Active Tourer

Problem solved, they made already some marketing efforts with the name and the AT concept, so some people are already aware.

Also there is no need and no link to any series at all, so why the 2 in the name?

Really though, I don't know why they changed it from the 1 series AT, which actually made sense (FWD, hatch/minivan/whatever shape).

I think it was the 1 GT, but 1 AT seems perfect.

You do know that if this sells well, there will be a 3 and 4 series. That BMW has already added a wagon to the 4 series lineup. The number series now only denotes relative size and luxury, not to divide the lineup between coupes and sedans.

Seriously?
I only know about the 4 GC, there will be also a 4 Touring?
