WTF happened to BMW? That is just awful!
As bad as the front end is, the rear is just hideous.

The M2CS will look very similar to the M2C. The question is, will the standard M2 in the next redesign have the front bumper as this? I’m betting it’s damn close.

It’s worked fine for Subaru. Pumping out high volume while quality tumbles. It’s what made Honda and Toyota shadows of what they used to be. Porsche is basically an SUV company now.

Gentrification: often rougher/poorer area somehow has a revival and develops awesome community and culture. Rich people notice this, and decide they want to live in that area. Rich people drive up cost of living due to frivolous spending, and drive out the people that made the culture what it was. The culture suffers, but rich people are happy with the fake feeling that they live in some cool cultural place. Car buying gentrification: auto mfr makes cool cars with unique offerings and does simply okay. People get attracted to the brand because they want to be cool. They end up deciding "being cool" has too many sacrifices they don't want to make. Auto MFR produces more mundane garbage which the fake mother forkers buy up in droves because they still get to claim they own an "ultimate driving machine". Mfr loses soul and keeps producing mundane garbage in ever-increasing quantities. Just accept that you're an NPC and buy from the actual appliance brands. Fork your fake image. I think I've come to a conclusion: fake people wanting to feel like they are something they are not are the root cause of a lot of woes Last edited by BeepBoop; 12-06-2019 at 12:32 PM. |

GM continues to sell their soul, except for the Corvette and maybe Camaro. Ford does it and looking to do it with the Mustang brand. FCA is a mess and their merger with PSA could be a saving grace or a nightmare. But that said, Dodge might be the one that didn't completely sell out yet as they continue to sell RWD coupes and sedans with low tech big V8's. BMW, Audi, MB have done it with their entry level FWD based models. VW is moving to be a mostly CUV company. Ferrari is going SUV, Lamborghini and Maserati have a SUV each. Actually, Hyundai and Kia might be the ones that haven't sold their soul because they didn't have one. Or they just buy the talent from other companies. |

No one is faulting BMW for making sedans, etc. We're faulting them for losing their way, needlessly segmenting their lineup, and diluting it with tons of crap like m-performance packages, while simultaneously going off the deepend with the kidney grill meme, reducing the actual driver feel and engagement of their cars, and having probably the worst feature-to-price point of any of the pseudo luxury brands. |

I can't blame companies for deciding to make SUV's/CUV's because those sell better and make the most money. They should be doing things that make them more money and more profitable.
But that doesn't mean the designs on their cars have to suck. The design direction of that BMW is just atrocious. And I can't imagine it helps sales. As far as Porsche, I don't care if they make SUVs. I don't ever intend on buying one. As long as they don't ditch the sports cars and ONLY make SUVs, I'm happy. |

Stock market bubble side effects = extremely overpriced luxury sports vehicles.
This will probably be a collector's item someday cause nobody bought it new. |

Wait, they're not going to build an M2 on that platform, are they?
Assuming not, much of the proportions of this car are dictated by the FWD platform it's on. While they might share certain design cues, I don't necessarily think a future longitudinal engine/RWD M2 will look too much like the 2 series. |
