Despite looking very much like a sedan, BMW unveiled their 6 Series “Gran Coupe” at the Geneva Auto Show, as it engages in yet another asinine tit-for-tat response to competing product from Audi and Mercedes-Benz.
Engines included a gasoline or diesel inline six (with turbocharging) and a twin turbocharged V8. An 8-speed automatic transmission along with a start-stop system, is standard, and drivers can hit an ECO PRO button if they suddenly feel compelled to save the planet. Sales are expected to begin this summer – we’re not sure why, but they are.

- VoGhost Oh, Mattie, I am BEGGING you to take a course in economics. There's probably a community college near you offering courses for free or very cheap. Seriously, people this ignorant of basic economics really should not be writing this drivel. Stick to what you know: pimping for big oil.
- Spectator This was an amazing vehicle. Back then Acura knew how to make a plush and comfy seat!
- Syke F1 fan and normally watch every race, although most of them are DVR'd. I've got my Xfinity box set up to record everything automatically. This past Sunday I watched the race live for a change.
- Jalop1991 There is no inflation. Everything is cheaper than it was 5 years ago. SHRIMP AND GRITS!
- ChristianWimmer Exterior and interior look pretty flawless for such a high mileage car. To me this is an indication that it was well-maintained and driven responsibly. It’s not my cup of tea but it’s bound to find an enthusiastic owner out there.And with ANY car, always budget for maintenance.
