To some, this is important. BMW, however good their cars might be, conjures up images of lawyers, trophy wives, and young hotshots who inherited their father's estate. I think I can make a fairly accurate assumption that most customers buy BMWs for reasons other than their unrivaled driving dynamics. I know some, who would never be caught driving a BMW due to that very reason. Doesn't bother me much, and the M badge also adds an air of seriousness to the vehicle. see full BMW 2-Series review |

I have heard (and read) good things about the Toyota. I went to the dealer expecting the van to feel cramped, overpriced and dealer unwilling to negotiate. The last time I looked at Toyota (20 years ago) a dealer asked how much over retail I would pay. see full Toyota Sienna review |
