"BMW will announce the official new sub-brand name on Monday. The project, dubbed "i" since its inception, will focus on electric and small vehicles. The first car will be the Mega City Vehicle, going on sale in 2013."

 

WTF are you serious?

iM not suprised and iDont care. Mercedes will follow suit. How is this a suprise, anyway? Manufacturers are all getting in on it. Hell, even Aston Martin will have a teeny car, aka a rebadged Toyota iQ. I won't take the time currently to get into details, but their reasoning is as sound an any.

Aren't most manufacturers having to reach a minimum mpg for their whole line up soon by most countries? Something like a average of 35mpg by 2012? Maybe this is their way of doing it...

 

Exactly. Hence Aston Martin will be selling a rebdaged Toyota iQ as the Cygnet: http://motorcrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Aston-Martin-Cygnet1.jpg

 

Yeah, that's not appealing AT ALL.
