The mere existence of these vehicles do not take away from
Your precious AWD/RWD Bimmers.
I never commented on FWD. The problem is that the product looks like shit next to its competitors.

Nobody cares if its faster than the E90 335 when it looks like a Ford Focus and it's driving dynamics are mediocre in comparison.

We can agree to disagree. I understand the business case for this car but am displeased with the execution. The ends don't justify the means in my mind. The press has been lukewarm to outright negative about this car for good reason, although that won't matter when it comes to sales.
