I just don't understand why BMW is going to have 50 models in their line up...

DON MORRISON · 06-12-2009, 08:47 AM

What is bmw thinking, they must have hired x-Pontiac design engineers,but they should have put them on a shorted leash !

Crossovers will always be ugly kinda like the dodge magnum...

They need to sell 2 million units worldwide in order to have the economy of scale to continue as an independent company. That's why.

Ya, I think it's lame as well, but that's the reality with all the regulations, mpg requirements, etc. and associated costs.

Y did they say they need the 3 GT to compete with the A4 avant? I thought the current E91 competes with the avant? So now they are going to have the wagon and a raised, taller GT version?

why is BMW so intent on making terrible cars that nobody wants

Yikes, what the hell were the disigners smoking when they came up with this?

BMW designers must hate their job because over the last 8 years they have been thinking of ways to get themselves fired.

X6 - 5 series GT and now the 3 series GT, I reckon they've cracked it.

I figure you can give it a try. If you make it, you will have a HUGE following of customers. If you don't, then you'll be bankrupt.
