BMW must've missed the memo I sent out last week. It read:

"Stop it. These GT models are gross and nobody will buy them."

I guess their marketing department disagrees . . .

I guess I just don't understand the need for a car like this. What's wrong with a 335i wagon?

I agree with you. Not sure, it's really surprising that they believe there is a market for these cars. I mean, even the X6, which I drove a bunch, was just weird.

A 335xi wagon w/ M Performance Package would be a damn good car, especially since you can't get an RS4 Avant here. Is Audi making the upcoming S4 available in an Avant stateside?

^ You mean, 335xiT, right? That way you can drive it in the snow, and not have to worry about swapping in a limited slip.

Nope, I want mine RWD. I don't need that fancy AWD for the snow plus I'm not sure you can get a manual trans with the xDrive option but I could be wrong.
