Yes, this is very nuts.


I remember for a time people were saying there were no cars out there because cash for clunkers killed off the supply of great big $5000 gas guzzling junkers that people would buy and drive till they died and buy another one. Now there were twice as many people chasing the $5000 small cars.

I don't think it applies in this case, but I don't understand the pricing model any longer.

I love my 3 series sedan but got scared off the SUVs as I wanted.
