"Because BMW thinks front wheel drive is the work of Satan."

And that's why they are advertising why they don't have FWD cars.



Although, as far as I know rabbits have nothing to do with devil.

I just related the brilliant quote from James May (Top Gear presenter) when he tested the BMW 1-Series, to the fact that BMW doesn't build front wheel drive cars.

I'm pretty sure this is a repost.

Good BMW advertisment though.

Re: "Because BMW thinks front wheel drive is the work of Satan."

That slogan sure works for me. No more FWD for me, ever.

But the MINI owners must consider themselves to be outcasts.

Re: "Because BMW thinks front wheel drive is the work of Satan."

This is one good ad. BMW sometimes does something really well. GM should fire their entire marketing dept. and hire those guys.

His front paws are on the back and his back paws are on the front (it's unnatural, just like FWD), which makes manuvering(sp?) a bitch for that rabbit. In laymans terms, his handling sucks, just like FWD cars (compared to RWD)
