Is it really a world debut when It doesn't actually go to part of the world?
that's as self serving as the NBA or NFL pronouncing a WORLD champion... when they have leagues on a single continent.   |
Considering there are other members in this forums from around the world and the Geneva Auto show is internationally recognized then yes, this a world debut.

Sadly the prices on the wagons vs SUV/SAV is pretty bad. When I saw this week looking 3-series wagon in Laguna seca blue have a $70k price tag on it and its only in turbo 4 engine I choked. Could very well get a X5 for 60k lightly used and have at least a straight 6. BMW kinda shot themselves too and just helped the broken bigger is better mentality the US has.

I am still perplexed why you don't get the same models in the US as we do in the EU though...

More crap US regulations. It is really weird because I think the engines and everything are like 95% the same as sedan version and yet it'll be illegal to import it over. I REALLY would've gotten a 340i Wagon if it sold here. And believe me this 'super-nation' does some pretty stupid shit. All. The. Time.
