It's all pointless
Let us
stick to the same theme as the previous post, which is ranting about pointless
cars. So I give you the all new uninteresting BMW 3-series Gran Turismo or GT,
which was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month.
You might
recognize that style of coupé/saloon design from the clumpy BMW 5-series GT.
And let’s make something immediately clear, that design doesn't work with the
3-series either. BMW obviously just wanted to make a liftback version of the
3-series and indeed the 5-series and then call it something sporty like GT. Or
then BMW just forgot about how to do a liftback version of a car. I don’t what
the reason is for BMW making it, but it just isn't necessary.
When the 5-series
came out a couple of years ago they were everywhere. But now there just isn't as much of them on the road as when it first came to the show rooms. I suspect
the same will happen to this car as well. A person who was going to buy an
ordinary 3-series buys this instead and thinks it makes him special and people
will finally be interested in him. But a year or so passes and he finally realises what a huge mistake he has made and buys an Audi A4 instead. And get this;
the 3 GT actually has got a bigger boot than the 3-series estate by 25 litres. This
then renders the 3-series Touring, pointless.
