Speaking of vans, I've reached a stage where I'd rather see BMW making commercial trucks instead of unsightly "GT"s and "X-Cite"s. Seriously, X-Cite sounds like something straight out of Hyundai's subcompact lineup in developing countries. For example, in India they launched a sedan version of the i20 and called it X-cent - like an Accent but smaller. Looks like BMW is pulling off something similar with their X-Cite. The only difference is that unlike the X-cent, BMW will make an about a dozen variants of the X-Cite.
Slowing growth is not a bad thing. In fact it should get into negative growth as soon as possible so the people running the company get their shit straight or risk becoming the next Volkswagen.
