E55
more and more companies have listened to market firms and thrown away some of their most valuable assets - their names and branding - in favor of stupid new brands that will take years to absorb the same or more value.
Tis is a dumb move as I see it and an obvious attempt to have BMW spend even more $ on replacing a sub-brand when it ain't broke!
