Btw it’s not that I would consider the 8er anyway ... too expensive for a daily. |

As I told them, for $30K it was a "no thought required" decision. At $65K it was a "well, maybe". At $119K there are a lot of other fun cars to be had (and you might be able to buy several), so why would anyone buy an Atom? And to make it worse, after things like this from Atom owners: (Skip to 00:50) Made because people kept calling Atoms dune buggys, Ariel went ahead and created the Nomad - an official dune buggy version of the Atom. BMW certainly doesn't have a monopoly on overpriced bad ideas... |
