Video: BMW PAS Fastback Prototype Scooped

BMW calls it the PAS which stands for Progressive Activity Sedan; we prefer to call it a 5-Series fastback with a tad of SUV and MPV elements. Anyway you call it, the PAS is yet another attempt from BMW to broaden its line-up with an all-new model following the X6 and it will go into production in 2009 or 2010. The PAS will be based on the underpinings of the 5-Series, so we should expect more or less the same engine range. As Autocar rightfully points out in the spy video, we’ll probably get a glimpse of the car in the form of a concept either this year at the Paris Show in September or maybe in Detroit next year. -See the video after the jump

2010 BMW PAS Crossover Rendering

A couple of months ago, BMW’s CEO Norbert Reithofer announced a new concept codenamed Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS for short) that will be introduced in 2010. The PAS is said to be a crossover based on the 5-Series underpinnings that will combine elements from a bunch of categories –coupes, hatchbacks, sedans, SAVs, station wagons and SUVs. In other words, we don’t have a clue what it is –hopefully BMW will. We’re more than sure that the Bavarians will tease us with a prototype at some point, but for the time being, we’ll have to be content with artists impressions like the one you’re seeing above from the Swedish Automotorsport magazine.
