What competition would BMW 2-Series target?????
We know a lot, but really only a little about the 2-series. We also know that BMW is in the habit of leading, not following. But I though it would be interesting to launch a discussion about the competition as a way of putting some more definition on what the 2 may be. In other words, speculation is largely about looking at the competition's pricing, power, features, etc... even knowing that BMW isn't going to just produce an A3 variant. So here are the cars the 2 will likely compete against, at least for my dollar:
Mini Cooper S (and JCW Edition)
VW GTI
Audi A3
Mercedes B200 (and Turbo)
VW Eos (coming very soon)
And with some hesitation I'll include:
Honda Civic Si
Mazdaspeed3 (not yet available, but well known)
Thoughts? Where will the 2 fit into this picture, in it's own unique way? Have I forgotten any?
