Thats not a rhetorical question btw, I really want to hear you weigh in on that.
The 1 series is definitely meant to lure young people into a bimmer and hopefully get them hooked for life. Don't force it into only that corner though. Why won't it be judged on its speed? It already has been, every car is, and how in hell is that immature?
We like fast cars, so we are immature, I guess I'll go hang in my playpen with Michael Schumacher.

I was quoting another poster who said people will go to a Mitsu or Honda if the car is priced too high because they can get more bang for their buck in speed and acceleration. I like speed too, but I also like the braking, tightness, handling, and the total package a BMW provides, so for me their is no comparision to a Honda or a Mitsu, just because one is faster than the other. I think the younger people might disagree, but for me its not only about how fast a car is in a straight line.
