Very true. But it does affect the brand image. And as fans of BMW (that's why we're here, isnt' it), it's not just specific models that we care about. I'll give you an example: This is how I see Audis: A3, longer A3 (A4), very long A3 (A6), big boned A3 (Q3), chubby A3 (Q5), morbidly obese A3 (Q7), etc.
I consider myself a car geek and I was genuinely confused when I visited the Audi stand at Goodwood this year. The all looked the same.
I'm still annoyed about all this 3 Series/4 Series nonsense. 3 different size categories for SUV seem reasonable: small, mid-size, big. But now we're talking about compact, sub-compact, etc. It's getting a bit ridiculous.
