Could a BMW half series work?

It could be a competitor against the Buick Verano. Would it work? What specs would you give it?

I will give it a Non-Turbo 4 Cyl Engine with around 140 HP. Cloth interior. Base model at around 22,000 USD.

oh Scott, you don't have to try so hard to participate. just chill, homie.

and BMW does not compete with Buick, it does not matter what kind of product Buick has or will have.

If you must throw something in there, 2 series, 3 series. Pick any model it will be $20k more similarly equipped.

BMW feeling threatened and needing to go down market to compete with Buick. That's a good one.

I'm reporting you for harrassment.

1-You KEEP following me into all my threads and posts. Online stalker is creepy
2-You keep claiming I'm 'Tommy'.........when mods already confirmed I'm not. You are scaring me. Leave me alone. You weird freak.

Buick isn't that far off from the BMW 3 Series. Expert car reviews already claim the Regal is a suitable competitor for the 320.

You do know you came into OUR playground right?

You do know there's this fancy little button called "new post" at the top of the page that takes us to "New Post's" right?

no one's following you, Tommy.

discussing stats, pitting automakers against each other, and what if's gets boring. There's only so much one can say about an automaker, and guess what!? it doesnt really matter because you're not the automaker...you dont make executive decisions, so why should you play one on the internet?
This is why you're a Tommy.

soo...the regal is a competitor for the 3 series that people buy when they don't really care about the drive of the car but rather just the badge on the hood. Awesome, they are competing effectively with a neutered base model BMW. Keep it up GM! There are a lot of cars that GM makes that would compete rather well with their German counterparts but never will simply because they are in different markets and directed towards different customers. This is the reason that the M3 sells so well when it can be matched on a track by a Mustang that costs $40k less.

Alright...this thread seems to have run its course too.

ScottRong: The mods are giving you the benefit of the doubt obviously by not banning you as we've done with Tommy. But, I'd also suggest you to look at why your threads/posts are inciting this response.
