Far cry from where this was 50 years ago. This plants the first seeds in my mind to start looking for a less globalist make.

By the way, just saw a 1940 movie with a gorgeous BMW roadster (shown in contrast with an equally gorgeous, opulent Benz). It looked like the same unmistakable mix of performance, luxury, and style, that carried through the times. Roundel was identical.
You're acting as if this is something new. It's been going on since the early 2000s.. where do you think all the bmw suvs come from.
