BMW Wakes Up

Leftlane News reports: BMW cancels R-Class fighter; explains Progressive Activity Sedan. Whew, that was scary. Nothing against the R-Class but it... wait a minute. WTF is a "progessive activity sedan"? And why to we have to use uppercase letters when writing it? PAS? Rhymes with gas. Which comes out of our ass! Yes, we are juvenile. And, yes, we plan to take this kind of comedy on the road!

Why?

And, come on, tell us the white dealie isn't 10,000 times better looking than the black one. Please!

We took that pic from Kicking Tires. Hopefully Dave won't come over here and open a can of whoop-ass on us. We bet he stole it, too.

BMW To Build Some Happiness

AutoWeek reports: BMW Z2. Mmmm, an affordable roadster. Yum. We like. And it hasn't even been built yet. Or formally OK'd. We still think it's yum. Speaking of yum...
