I'm amazed by the level of intellect on the post...

This is just an article by a car magazine. and the picture is just a drawing.

That aside, I think BMW has clearly seen the writings on the wall about future automotive trends. Sustainability and efficiency will be key to an auto company. The EU market has and will have significantly more regulations than the U.S. market, and BMW, as well as MB etc. will have to adapt, and even stay ahead of the curve.

The recent financial crisis, and the troubles by the automakers, including the mighty Toyota, show you how vulnerable the automakers are. Porsche will be a part of VW group. For BMW to remain independent, they have to lead. Powerful cars will not go away from BMW, but the majority will be more efficient and hopefully still fun to drive (think, think, E30M3...)
