Its a new month and what better way to talk about the new projects of car manufacturers in the coming of summer. About a week ago BMW revealed their sporty Gran Coupe concept at the Beijing Auto Show. Sporting a lovely 6 series design this concept is most likely the future of the
upcoming version of the 6 running around the world famous Nurburgring, though I hope a 2 door version will still be available.
My position on this Coupe is BMW looking ahead on the new 4 door coupe designs that have been launched by Porsche and Aston Martin. Though Audi is coming out with an A7 model as well, this new Gran Coupe definitely shows BMW's courage and strength in the market to provide car then their competition. I'm glad BMW is taking a stand to rethink future models of their cars (although being an owner of an M3 and 328i I believe BMW has held strong to their standards) despite a not so good market in 2009 compared to rivals Audi and Mercedes.
Whatever this Gran Coupe holds up its bound to bring a lot of interest in the company and hopefully it will not detire them from the "Ultimate Driving Machine" mission that they have always had.
