3-Series named one of 10 most noteworthy vehicle of the decade by Yahoo

kred · 03-07-2010, 02:32 PM

Like the title says, the BMW 3 series tops the most noteworthy vehicles of the decade according to Yahoo! Autos. Just saw this and thought I would share.

1. BMW 3 Series

The BMW 3 Series has had a target on its back for well over a decade. Still, despite the fact that every luxury carmaker has set its sights on taking it down, it's managed to retain its crown as the best entry-level luxury sedan money can buy. The credit goes to its smooth and powerful six-cylinder engines, agile handling and excellent refinement — and let's not forget about its exceptional build quality and wonderful, driver-focused interior. Without a doubt, this capable Bimmer deserves kudos for being the benchmark by which others in this segment are judged.

not arguing it's good, but the competition isn't much

Summicron · 03-07-2010, 11:32 PM

This is amazing considering the high level (probably highest of any category) of competition in this category.

Now we can brag to out Lexus driving friends that our cars were on the same list as the Pontiac Aztec!

If that doesn't make them insanely jealous, nothing will.
