How will people find an already scarce car. Saw the pricing on a 335d $45,000! Not worth the money.

Diesel came down because of lack of demand, looks like it will stay there.

The changes in the CAFE standards are a pipe dream. I was talking to someone who said they had an old Ford from the 50s that got 40 MPG, they said they can do it they don't want to. I then proceeded to ask them if they had the following equipment: Airbags (several of them), Air conditioning, Sat Nav, Sun roof, electric windows, double glazed glass, heated seats, a hard drive, an on board computer,run flat tires, disc brakes, heated windows. That weight adds up.

Frankly its amazing cars like the 3er get 30 MPG with all the crap onboard.
