There goes the neighborhood ... in the 1980s it was just advertising execs and hairdressers buying the BMW 3 series now it seems even the maids and gardeners have to drive one.

Don't believe what you read. Everyone knows that Lexus is the Most Popular Automotive Brand In The World.

School is out for the Summer. Or did you not know that?

Sorry if calling out lame Lexuses gets your panties in a bunch. Why else would you respond? Any sane person would ignore it. But not you insecure Lexus fans. LOL!!!

I see that you've switched the subject completely away from cars and now making it 100% personal. That's how an adolescent reacts. And you're calling me a kindergartner? Can you at least keep the subject of cars in there somewhere? Or are you going to continue with your personal adolescent insults?

Its only a car dude. Sorry if that riles you up enough to call me names. This is funny.

"subject matter doesn't really have much relevance now does it?"

- When you decided to go 100% personal is when relevence was thrown out the window.


"Take for instance the thread TITLE, and what did you jump into this thread and start discussing?"

- It was to weed out the insecure Lexus fans. And you took the bait. Should I make you do more tricks for everyone?

Hmmm, autospies2, I trust you've been here long enough to realize that Lexsucks likes to play around with sarcasm a lot. If you didn't realize that up until now... well then I honestly feel sorry for your handicap, and recommend you turn off the computer before you get in too much trouble.

no, but autospies seems to be running low on the flood of lexus advertising that's usually all over the site.

auto: you're right, there are so many people cross-shopping an $18,000 civic and a $40,000 base 328i. almost as many people who cross shop a 5-series and a GS. lol

unenthusiastx11 you're missing the point, BMW regularly heavily subsidizes lease deals and Honda is not so aggressive. In many countries the 3 series [with smaller engines that in the US] is indeed cross shopped with all manner of cheaper vehicles. For example In London the 3 series is the choice of hairdressers and secretaries - it has to be otherwise it would not regularly be in the top 10 most popular vehicles.

All of you are Wrong, LOL, there is a lot of places around the world that they have no idea on what is BMW, but they know Toyota.....popularity is related to the cost , cheaper is always most popular (sadly).

Yonder7 is correct - it's nothing to with with popularity - as he mentioned, the cheaper brands sell way more cars than BMW. So this article is basically a load of Sh**!!

This brand ranking is to do with the strength of the brand itself, product desireability, how people view the products and the brand perception. Nothing to do with popularity.
