seems the bmw chasers have pretty much caught up, first the G35, and now the TL and is becoming harder to justify the price premium.. that said, i voted w/ my pocket book and got me a bimmer big bumpkin deal..
and wth do you expect w/ a brand new platform? of course they have to be darn near the leader if not better to compete. there is a reason why acura and infiniti are selling their bmw competitors cheaper and bmw commending a premium. and if one of them *gasp* topples the 3er, they'll soon start charging a premium too.. if they can afford to, like bmw used to. but with the new 3 in the horizon, bmw is keeping up with tweaks, like the zhp package.. can't wait for the new makeover to reclaim the outright throne tho ^^
