Comments on: Speculation: Mini roadsters from Mercedes and BMW to hit the market between 2011 and 2012? http://paultan.org/2009/02/23/speculation-mini-roadsters-from-mercedes-and-bmw-to-hit-the-market-between-2011-and-2012/ Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:02:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: mystvearn http://paultan.org/2009/02/23/speculation-mini-roadsters-from-mercedes-and-bmw-to-hit-the-market-between-2011-and-2012/#comment-215365 mystvearn Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:33:42 +0000 http://paultan.org/?p=12429#comment-215365 Both can try, but then I don't really see the Mazda threaten in any way. BMW and Merc needs to lower their prices "by a lot" if they want to have any realistic chance to come close to the Miata. The original BMW 1 series was meant as an entry level BMW, but the car was crap. I can see these 2 new models heading into the same direction. Hard to balance quality and price Both can try, but then I don't really see the Mazda threaten in any way.
