Actually now that the guy from Audi is in charge I think my next new car will be a Jag.

BMW is lost and they need help to focus, not more station wagons and trucks with an M logo.

EDIT: this is what I was thinking of, where the rumor was that the 6 series would just be a lighter coupe or GT to take on the 911: http://jalopnik.com/bmw-may-be-reviv...ort-1779731600
Audi have a beautiful normally aspirated v10 R8

Hopefully the guy from Audi hasn't forgotten that since coming to BMW haha
