And after driving a $48,000 328xiT, I highly doubt that a 335xiT would be under $40,000.

I highly doubt a 335xi falls under $40,000 because it starts at $42,000.

They don't make a Mazda6 wagon anymore for North America, and the only 3.0 turbo BMW under $40K is the 135i.

I saw one today. Logically, it'll be perfect just to transport me and maybe another person back and forth to work without breaking the bank. Better than a Yaris or Aveo.

More expensive and less practical than either, and not even the gas mileage is significantly better. Plus, it has like a 70 inch wheelspan.

Well I guess the "fact" that there's not much choice for under $40k might explain why car sales are so low :rolleyes:

3.  Volkswagen GTI 4 Door - $27,115
4.  Volkswagen Tiguan S - $25,836

Had some trouble making this list with new cars without having them all be Volkswagens.  Stupid Audi not offering the 2.0T TT with a manual anymore!  Forced me over to BMW.  And damn Volvo for cutting down the V50 range and only offering an automatic with the T5.

Those are built prices.  I took the $40K limit as a limit including options.
