Re: BMW 5-series GT gets xDrive
The dealer guys are usually the last to know anything. They only care about hitting targets with the established models - anything new, frightens them.
If he thinks the GT is an abomination to BMW, he shouldn't be working for this brand. BMW, once again hit the spot with this car, and, like I mentioned, it's outselling even BMWs expectation.
Why ppl like you want new models to fail is beyond me. Does 'new' scare you so much that you're willing to live with the same old same old for the rest of your life? Companies that doesn't do 'new', dissapear into obscurity and is eventually bought up by some indian business man with vision.
Re: BMW 5-series GT gets xDrive
Im sure that there is a market for a 5 litre xwd saloon car, the one person thats after one will have loads to pick from, as to current BMW styling, thats just a contradiction in itself.
I can remeber the day when people used to aspire to buy a BMW just cant think why you would want to now!
