WOW. BMW isn't going to cancel any of their upcoming SUVs though are they. I'll stop there.

It's too late for that.
X1 & MINI Crossover are already developed.
PAS as well. So is the baby Rolls-Royce.

I guess X4 & X2 are also be axed. So will be the new Z8.
Not sure with will be the faith of PAC (3er based "4dr coupe / fastback") and Z2.

BMW will invest all the resources & efforts in EfficientDynamics program, and in the project i (Mega City Car).

Times are though, and they have to react quickly. I'm surprised as well ...

But I guess sometimes in a bit more brighter future CS Gran Turismo project will be revived ...

Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door GT

I'm baffled. Looks like Scott has been making up his own idea of the future of BMW, without knowing what really happens inside the company....I truly cannot believe it.

FVCKING HELL.

Goddamn am I disappointed.....CS will stay a concept....It has become a worthless showcar in 2 seconds......

Some of the Insiders on this forum really are NO insiders at all. That's all I want to say about this. Working on the BMW PR/Press team clearly does not give you any info we 'normal' fans don't get.


GT7..... LMAO!!!!!

Trust me brother, I'm right there with you. I had high hopes for this car, but if you are standing where I am right now, things are not pretty at all.

I figured there was going to be something like this... these cars have been in development for quite some time now as Eni said... Hell I'm standing next to one now (I'm talking about the M's). Cars in the more distant future, such as the CS are not safe. Watch for other car companies to axe models and put their money into new technology

2 great cars indeed, but low volume. It's all about the timing of the wall street meltdown

Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door GT

^I'm disappointed as well, but it's the world's crisis and all this fvcked up situation that forced them to do so.

SCOTT or EnI didn't make up anything and they're not to blame!!!

Easy now. Im not exactly sure what Scotts portfolio is but marketing people hardly make the executive decisions regarding resource allocation in a company and this has obviously come straight from the top and caught a lot of people unawares.
