Maybe the USA is starting to catch on to the Euro market. |

i don't know, i really don't want many people to have the same car as i do. i don't want it to become another corolla or civic. especially here in pittsburgh, E90s are very rare to see which kind makes me feel good. there are a lot of bimmers here but it's far from, let's say, SF area where kids get the cars for their 16th birthday.
