Yes... he who pays the bills.
I remember the discussions when the E53 X5 was released to the market, many thought BMW had lost the plot, plus the same sort of comments we still hear and read today, about BMW diluting the brand, etc. Enthusiasts would have BMW, without changing direction, out of business.
Keep in mind what funds the M-cars! |
If the majority of a brand's customers buying SUV's keeps the M3 and 911 in the game not to mention gives us the 718 GT4 and Spyder I don't see the problem? Seriously what is everyone's issue with this. As long as they cater to the right audience when designing/engineering either types of vehicle what's the big deal? Profits bring more resources; doesn't have to be an all or nothing deal. Keep buying X3's, X5's, Macans and Cayennes so I can be able to continue to support my own motoring addictions!
