this will be a high selling car in Europe and potentially North America (US & Canada)...mark my words...
Oh I have no doubt it will sell well--this will bring out the lesser wealthy soccer moms and badge whores.

Remember when Top Gear had a "plate of sick" and a BMW badge in it? some shit sells no matter what...I just have to believe that the move away from core values will catch up with them at some point. With record sales, it isn't now obviously...we shall see...
