Good for BMW. This is what GM should be doing, looking at the big picture. Not just their RE-Volt-ing car.

This is what I love about BMW, they are always at least a decade ahead of every other automotive company.

Your are so full of S__t Huu...

You have not concrete facts to back up your claims.

BMW is one of the most progressive automotive companies in the world and you choose to live in "Toyota Fairy Land"..

If your Asian automotive companies were so forward thinking maybe they would have made the list.. But "Not"....

You are one of the least credible posters on this site.

You spin facts and manipulate information to make it appear you are right when the facts always turn you into a liar..

huu, how are you not tired of listening to yourself by now? I mean, we only have to endure you for brief moments, and it is almost unbearable. How do you stand having to be around yourself all the time? You must be one strong willed dude.
