Looks like BMW will give this beauty the green light! It will be the new Flagship Sedan above the 7-Series. Does this sedan fit in your opinion?

Great car!! I think this will also preview the new front end of the 3 series.

Supposedly it's a good cue on the new X3 coming out if you can believe it!

I've noticed that this thread has been getting a lot of traffic for the past week. That's strange given that the most recent post is over a year and a half old. :confused:

If you're reading this thread and you're not a member of DealershipForum.com I would appreciate it if you would use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page a let me know how you found this site. :)

It might be because the front of this vehicle looks strangly like the front of the 2011 3-Series or it's Chrysler execs looking for fresh designs. :)

Well, I don't think it's the Chrysler execs because most of the IP addresses are from Europe. :confused:

That said, it would be awesome if Chrysler learned a thing or two from BMW about designing great vehicles. I read an article today that placed two Chrysler vehicles on the "10 Worst vehicles this Decade" list. (Jeep Compass for looks and Chrysler Sebring Convertible for quality) :(

That's not good at all. I wonder if the Daimler marriage had anything to do with those rankings?

I think Daimler is 100% responsible for the poor styling and "cheapness" that plague many of Chrysler's current vehicles. :mad:

That said, I also hold Tom LaSorda responsible for making horrible product planning decisions. No one in their right mind would have approved a Jeep Compass and a Jeep Patriot competing in the same showroom.

Additionally, any true sales guy would have known that dealers need inexpensive vehicles to advertise and sell. The elimination of the Regular Cab Four Cylinder Dakota and the SWB minivans are great examples.

On a different note, this thread appears to be getting even more traffic now that it has recent posts. It's now the most read thread on the forum. :confused:

Prepare for a job interview as Chief Design Officer for Chrysler, XDCX.

I don't think that will be happening.... :rolleyes:

It will be interesting to see what Chrysler comes up with on November 4th. I'm hoping the Chrysler 200C is an indication of their design abilities.

Time will tell.

On a different note, still no explanation for the traffic surge. I guessing that Google is responsible. :confused:

I'll admit the 5gt is not one of my absolute favorites at this point, but it came out looking and feeling much better than expected. www.outdrive.ca currently has one out for review with a short video posted this morning.
