That doesn’t mean that a customer that does care no longer exists.
What should we be driving instead? Here in the UK the BMW still rates as a good car. G20 brings the model back to the top of the pack, straight away.

Take the criticism of the F3x models, yes there has been the option in the UK of the Jaguar XE and Alfa Giulia, with slightly better driving dynamics, but do BMW drivers move across for the dynamics? No, not many at all. The BMW offers the total package, even enthusiasts want more than the focus on driving dynamics for daily use.

Doesn't mean we don't care, judgements are made on much more than one aspect of a vehicle by most drivers, these days.
