I don't usually read Car and Driver. Are they always this out of touch with what people want?


uhm, that's kinda the point of the article

Exactly- but then I've also had more than one inept fool tell me that they can't buy a RWD car because they need a vehicle that they can drive in the rain...

Three things the American public disdains:

Station wagons
Diesels
Manual Transmissions

Add RWD and be sure you will never see it on this side of the altantic... sadly.

328d comes in manual only RWD, not AWD, and last time I checked at a dealer, there was none, zero, in the whole Canada. And it was the sedan, not the station wagon.

I've got a deal for you... lol!

But I think the prime buyers of this sort of vehicle buy and then hold onto for ridiculous periods of time. If not ridiculous to us then to the oem. We are just not their prime market.
