REVIEW: So what's new ? BMW 328 Convertible beats Audi, Saab, VW and Volvo

I was actually quite suprised that my summer car, the SAAB 9-3 2.0t, got in third, considering it's the oldest model there. I do agree with their rankings.

Yes, I wasn't surprised by this result- one-two finish for BMW and Audi was completely expected. However, like mstangpny, I didn't expect the Saab to beat out the Volvo or VW. Mostly the Volvo, though, because it's gotten favorable reviews for its style, its liesure and its attractive hardtop design.

Why is the VW there? It's not the same class...why no CLK?

The BMW is the best choice out of the group of cars compared. For the first time, I agree with the BMW's placement.

it's really a beautiful, fun to drive car.
no surprise that it leads the pack.

i've said this before, but you'd need to spend $100,000 plus on as SL to get a better combination of style and performance in a convertible.

The 328 cab was 39,000. The A4 was 38,000, the other two in the 32,000 range. Substantial difference.

No excuses as to why the Audi & VW lost "Chewy?" I recall you saying you'd take an Eos over a 335i cab!

Audi has some of the stiffest pricing in the business. I'm lucky I have a good dealer- most are sucky to work out pricing with.

SAAB is basically giving away their cars....I got mine that was sitting on the lot in Missouri for 9 months at a dealer that was going out of business. I got a fantastic deal. I paid, with trade, less than half of the car's MSRP. It was new, too.

When has C&D not chosen BMW in a comparo? For the savings and style, I'd go for the Volvo.

The 3 series convertible is very attractive in real. Looks way better than pictures. BMW does it again!

To amazinbimmer

Audis are expensive; what are you talking about? Audi actually wins a lot of awards because of their quality; they actually are very high in quality, more so than BMW’s which leads me to my next point. The guys Audi is cheap according to you; but it is higher in quality. Also, an Audi A4 costs 40,100 and the BMW 328 costs 43,000 not too much of a difference to me.

It is also funny how BMW obviously is worried about competition; they constantly upgrade their models which actually sends a message of insecurity. I am worried that the company will make piss-poor decisions in the future; the number one choices to go are still Volvo, Saab and Audi. All of these cars actually last more than four years LOL!
