Right, who wants to buy a "Death coupe"..
I am sure the Audi A4 would sell better in Asia if they called it something else. Chinese and Japanese skip the number four in building levels and house numbers for that reason. They don't want to be reminded of death all the time. |

SCOTT,
What about the potential for a 2 Series Gran Coupe, something you had touched upon in past posts? Is that getting closer to becoming a reality? I think it would be a huge seller in the US and all of North America for that matter. |

I have a hard time spitting out "4-er"... "four-ererer". 3-er, 5-er, etc, no problem but 4-er is tough! LOL!

That looks great, "M2" instead of the "1M, 1M coupe, 1 series M, 1 series M coupe" etc. jargon that we have now. A car shouldn't have 50 possible names.
I hope BMW M just go to town on this 2 platform and forget about robbing M3 sales. Just make it as good a car as possible. Who cares if a cheaper car is faster? The M3 is faster than the M6 round the ring for gods sake. The M3 will always sell.
