Why doesn't BMW ask GM how sharing platforms and multiple brands worked out for them? How long has it taken GM to shake their image of a cheaper vehicle based on cost savings in the 80's and 90's? I don't think they still have.
I also hear that FWD cars are cheaper to produce, so why not go full bore FWD?
The savings will never be passed to the customer, and only lead to a more average vehicle. I am now liking the prospect of a Porsche small sedan even more!
