The fact they created a "diversion team" for this is what sours me more than anything else. I get that there will be fluctuations and every manufacturer will push their advertised number as much as possible...for advertising... but creating a team to deliberately fck with people (basically) is what's infuriating here, IMO. It isn't as bad as what VW did but it feels pretty close.

Tesla fans: "Tesla will sell 20 million cars by "X" year because the make the best EVs and have the best battery tech." Meanwhile at Tesla: https://www.yahoo.com/news/tesla-lands-hot-water-report-100000724.html

I kinda have seen that face too. Like Toyota sometimes, BMW also sometimes uses other brands' design language to establish an image. I understand that the twin kidney grill design language also belongs to BMW, but I find it quite ironic that BMW seems to get inspired by lowly Pontiac sometimes... Plenty of occasions that last 15 years or so this has happened. Also, the new look kidneys take inspiration from the lowly-ier Fisker Karma. Maybe it's an hommage to Henrik Fisker. He did design the Z8. But...the 1970 Catalina was also considered ugly back in the day. Why did BMW think it would be a great idea to emulate that look 50 years later??? I like the Pontiac huge twin grills. I dont really mind the BMWs version quite honestly. On the cars. NOT on the CUVs. Which one I prefer you asked? THIS!!! I dont necessarily want BMW to go back to the small kidneys of decades prior. I think this size is big enough and demands attention and respect BECAUSE one KNOWS its a BMW. BMWs do have brand cachet. No need to OVERexpose. No need to overstyle and risk of taking a page out of somebody else's playbook. Big grills are NOT what BMWs are all about. Big grills only acknowledge the stereotype of BMW's douchbag drivers. There are plenty of other aspects to BMWs than just shytty owners. BMWs are supposed to be cars that dance around corners. Big grills look like the car stumbles over its own feet. Is it THAT image that BMWs want to shoot for? Former Pontiac and current Dodge cars and their owners???!!!
