Well, now might be a good time to start R&D and get the ball rolling if the opportuned time to sell such a beast is in a few years... if you wait to design a car until the need is there you miss the ball by the time it comes off the line. On the other hand, you stand the chance to build something that won't sell due to economy if you are wrong on your projections...

I'd be truly thrown off and surprised the most if they decide to build a luxury/performance pickup truck... Against what BMW has been about, but so is lots of what they are doing now. Hybrids, 4x4 forced induction SAV ///M models, future 4cyl FWD models possibly?
