Are you sure about that? Granted, I didn't dig that hard, but I can't find any articles saying that, and you can build one on the Honda site.

"The Supra would never have existed if the Camry hadn't been so successful." "BMW makes the Camry?" "They call it a 3-series" Kind of sums up my feelings about BMW these days. |

I disagree with the two Ford 1/2 ton pick up trucks on that list.
I guess if you are never going to tow, or go off road you could argue it needs a stick option. (why does R&T even care about these vehicles?)

Something inside me says that was more BMW telling them that so that did not poach to many sales.

I posted elsewhere that I might have strongly gone that route if it existed. It would have itched both my practicality nature (4 seats in a pinch) and my need for open air (which is why I was also cross shopping the Boxster - although that come down to the ridiculous 981 S GTS used market pricing for a now oldish car).

Offer a wagon with a good engine (THANK YOU MERCEDES, just get your suspension right). Offer a stick on the sportiest models, and offer it at cost + option if you want to. I'd gladly pay more to help cover the cost of certification.

Of course, this inevitably leads to the ridiculous situation of not having homogenized global safety standards, but that is sort of a different rant. |
