BMW just needs to stop. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Taking away the wagons and giving us these nasty looking things turns my stomach.
 
The only thing I'm currently looking forward to is the 2-series, although changes are it will be overweight.

And the 5 GT is not even selling well.
 
The X6 did so that probably emboldened them.

And the odd thing (to me, at least) is that the 5GT looks slightly better than the 6. Personally, I think the x6 should be considered one of the ugliest vehicles of all time. Right there with a Pacer. I think the Aztek was inoffensive in comparison.

Now that I think about it, I say Datsun 1200 or....was there a 1600?

I think the 1600 was the roadster. Car in the pic looks like a 2 door, which I recall once seeing as a 1200.

3 series Gran Turismo
 
For a second I was excited, thinking there was a photo of a Studebaker here.

BMW now has an old Mopar name "Gran Coupe" and an old Stude name "Gran Turismo". Funny.

Gran Turismo is a term taken from the great Italian cars. I think it really meant a car you could race with competitively and then drive home in comfort.
 
It really makes little sense with 60s American cars but "GT" is a sexy marketing term, so hey, why not?
