What do all this models have in comun? Maybe that they are luxury cars, or maybe expensive. No, is not that. The only thing they have in comun is this: they are not on sale yet, but they have a very long waiting list.
These cars have a big impact on the brands they represent — more than likely, an impact out of proportion to the expected sales volumes — and most of them, like the high-performance, 2008 BMW M3, are new versions of an existing model name. This illustrates an age-old, auto industry balancing act: “new-and-improved” versus “tried-and-true.”
Of course the first one is Audi’s sports car R8 that was sold out for long time now. Next is the new M3. And why isn’t this a surprise?
