The majority of owners buy it for the brand and perceived "Luxury." 328 base leasers running around for less than $400/month. It's the Toyota of luxury cars and it's the most mass produced. Profit in the U.S. is based on volume sales and that's why most people go for BMW over Audi, regardless of what "enthusiasts" say.
