Everytime BMW releases a Gran Turismo, i want to punch a cat. 

 

[Throttle2]

I think BMW, MERcy and several others are just going overboard with too many variants.

Profit margin for bread & butter model is getting thinner.

 

Have to use these niche model to supplement profit shortfall.

[Douglam]

What's the difference between this and the 5GT?

Sacre Bleu!

[TangoElite]

what next? 7GT? i8 GT? 

[Volvobrick]

The back looks as bad as the 5GT.  They should copy Ford Mondeo or Mazda 6.

niche models are highly possible the loss making ones  (not compare with other atas brands eg rolls, which are already in the niche market)

volume too small to cover all the r&d, manufacturing and many other costs

 

i tot bmw/merc are trying to stream down the variants

G32 6GT is based on G30 which minimise R&D cost.

 

I don't think these manufacturer is streaming down the variants.

 

Rather they might be streaming up like forecoming X7

I have only one suggestion to Audis, BMWs, MBs - please increase the font size of the models by which only we can differentiate your models these days!

The characteristics of a 6 series are all gone.

 

There was a time when 3,5,7 was all you need. 3 for the young executive, 5 for the middle manager, and 7 for the towkay. Then BMW start slotting numbers in between, everything looks the same now.

 

Now 1 is the budget hatchback, 2 is a shorter 3 with 2 doors, 4 is in between 3 and 5 in size, 6 is the coupe but soon to be replaced by 8.

 

They can probably throw away 2 and 4 series from their lineup.

Look like a 5-series with the 3GT behind but still a bit lumpy like the old 5GT.

 

Still, I like it, to be honest.

[Vid]

That is one sh1t looking car.
