I don't follow this, desirability of a car has nothing to do whether you're in the market for it or not. I don't know how many of us are in the market for a Ferrari F12 or a Veyron, but we can still desire it. On the other hand, it's not because I drive a 5-series, I don't desire anything which costs less or is smaller. The youngster I know, who could be in the market for one, aren't desiring it either and that is worse of course.

But, when the sales figures are strong, it confirms the paradox: a lot of BMW enthousiast think it is ugly (just read the threads in this forum), but somehow people are even buying it more than before.
