Bmw working hard in order to avoid gas-guzzler taxes

In hopes of evading gas-guzzler taxes, BMW AG is studying fuel-efficiency improvements, according to Jim O’Donnell, president of BMW of North America.

BMW anticipates that this project will eliminate the gas-guzzler taxes on its high-performance vehicles as early as the launch of their redesigns within the next few years. For instance, a $1,000 gas-guzzler fee is imposed on the 2010 550i GT.

They should impose a ugly tax on the GT, blah, blah.

Some one had to say it first.

Front 3/4th is okay but the rear end competes for the ugliest rear end ever title.

I remember reading somewhere that they will offer smaller engines but much lighter than normal unsprung weight on newer models.
