Channalingus.com perhaps?
I think BMW might be right on the hatchback thing though. I don't think potential BMW buyers would be so hot on the luxury hatchback idea. Perhaps if the 1 series had a different marketing campaign than the rest of the Bimmers.
Either way I don't think they can get away with a 4 cylinder pushing 150 hp in the US. You don't want people to think of the car as a BMW Civic. Not that the Civic is a bad car but it certainly does not evoke the same lust/emotion that the blue/white roundel brand does, unless you're talking about a certain Civic we don't get here...
Oh well we'll be getting a 2 door 2 series sometime in the future with an M2 to follow. I'm hoping the M2 will capture the original character of the E30 M3. If it does, it'll make a mean, mean race car.
