Very good points on VAG and Volvo. I have been suggesting BMW for some time. Saab can be the FWD platform utilizing Mini engines while avoiding diluting BMW's own RWD heritage and sporting credentials on bigger cars designed to meet specific emission/consumption targets. The new fleet fuel economy standards are brutal to RWD cars.
IMHO, BMW management is making a big mistake basing decision on allegedly 80% of 1 series buyers not knowing which axle drives their cars. 80% of 1 series buyers are fashion followers who base their purchase choices on the much less than 20% opinion makers, who happen to care very much about which axles drive their cars.
