Of course, it's unclear what "clean sheet" means in comparison to the current and future CLAR and/or whether the iX sits on a bespoke platform. But it sounds like the iX is much more removed from the X5/X7 than the iX3/i4 are from their respective twin brothers/sisters (not least due to the unique body style).
Right, I'm aware of ynguldyn's description as well, but as you point out, it doesn't remove all ambiguity. Furthermore it's not clear (it never is, by design) what data he used to draw that conclusion.

Yes. It's just that the eventuality you mention is a reality already for some other players. So there's significant value in understanding how far the iX has moved the ball.
