I agree completely. I feel that all this diversity is coming at the expense of them doing what they're known for doing best...building well made, world class RWD sedans.
I keep hearing people say that they need to do this to survive, and I'm not buying it. Were they in trouble before the SUVs?
Besides that, they've got the FWD brand Mini to take care of CAFE. I'd much rather see them further diversify that lineup than build FWD cars with a BMW badge on them.
