Here come the front wheel drive BMWs

Really what they care about is the Status symbol as you mentioned and a zero dollar buy in on the lease and zero cost maintenance program.

Focus RS is a cool car it's too bad the NHTSA and Insurance would kill it off here. Very surprised that WRX/STi and Evo xyz's have survived.

FWD DO NOT WANT.

Really a big WTF here, I am not real sure but isnt it foretold some where in the old testament, that the end times are near when BMW makes a FWD car that bares the roundel ?????

Oh well cant argue with progress, so much for motorsport when you abandon everything and go green. Too bad the core BMW market is Yuppie douchebag that dont give 2 shits about the brand or what it really stands for, only how much it costs and the status that they think comes with a Roundel on the hood.


Would rather have a focus RS.

its gonna be as shitty as the e36 318ti...

Nothing shitty about a 318Ti good mileage and peppy enough and cheap enough to attract new blood into BMW just the same way the old 318i or the 325e was.

BMW needs a base entry 25k-31k car it served that purpose unlike the current 128i it's base starts at shy below 30k and quickly hits high 30's. This is why they are not selling well, it's overpriced.
