Question

I know we all love our BMW's , but hypothetically (and let's hope it never comes to that), if we didn't have BMW (and hence no BMW cars), what would you get?

My wife and me will be in the market for a new car next year, and I want to get another BMW. This got me thinking... what if BMW wasn't around ?? In that case, what would I get?

Nope, no way for us mortals to edit. To some extent, you should be able to keep track of the number who have "other" preferences and failed to vote "Other" provided the number of "other" voters stays very small. Right now, that number is zero--with 24 having voted.

And when I checked "MB" above, that includes the Chrysler 300 as an alternative. But, I'd rather wait until the give it a face lift.
