Actually, BMW is still passenger car heavy......regardless you have a point. Sales have shifted from cars to SUVs/Trucks so why not offer more options to keep and/or reign in new buyers.
The rear valence panel of the ST appears to be slightly overwrought, outside of that it looks pretty spot on. Curious to see how the performance improvements translate to real world driving.
I loved everything about my 12 Focus, except for the Powershift transmission. It ruined a perfectly good car. The fit/finish, handling and feature content rivaled some of these so called premium brands.
This car without the pano roof (and added weight) probably would have faired better performance and efficiency wise. Yes the car is slow, but who in their right mind shops a hybrid with the emphasis on off the line performance?
