good call. I've driven the 320d, and it's a great car. I'd gladly take a vehicle that gets the fuel economy of a Prius without actually driving like a Prius.

Loser. Unless gas goes over $4/gal Americans will refuse to buy them.

Wrong. Americans will buy them as long as the negative perception of that "other" fuel is not present AND their is no price premium to buy one...

I'm sure when these come here they'll have an MVA, and be loaded with options that are going to push the price into the $35k+ range. It's near impossible to find a BMW in the states that has a base trim.
