So if BMW Chairman Zipse is saying customers are the decision makers and never lose sight of them, then why is the Head of Design only targeting 20% of them thus losing sight of 80%?
I think the response to that is they'll have other products they can buy. I didn't want a G80 so I got a F87 CS. BMW still wins.
