Oh, F20 BMW 1er is so "ugly" yet 20th best selling car in Europe in Q2 2012. How so?

 

[DblPen]

because it has bmw badge and is probably pretty good car overall

It could've been 10th

 

[Makini]

wow... Toyota really takes a beating in the EU. Interesting stuff. I could study these figures for hours!

It's really hard for you to separate sales and style, ain't it?

Because of the badge, the quality, and most importantly, the PRICE PER BADGE RATIO!

Could it be the people in Europe?

Or its overall package is appealing. I own previous 1-series and I driven the new 1-series a couple of times and I can fully understand why people buy a 1-series.

 

[K-A]

That's what I meant by "quality". Build, drive, engineering, etc. within that class/functionality/price are all winners I'm sure. I doubt anyone truly buys that car solely because of its style.

I can fully do it. But others obviously can't. All the people around the internet who scream F20/21 1er is failure, and will be a complete sales & marketing flop due to its "ugliness" ... and eaten alive by the new A3 & the new A-class.

Because of the badge, the quality, and most importantly, the PRICE PER BADGE RATIO!

Why then the E46 3er Compact was a sales fail (and E36 Compact wasn't)? 3er Compact had the badge, it had the E46 3er quality, it has good price-per-badge ratio.

 

[Centurion]

Nissan appears to be the king of cheap SUV. Both the Juke and Qashqai are chart climbers.

BMW Europe = diesel engines that escape CO2 taxation (and can also be tuned).
