Norbert Reithofer: Norbert Reithofer, CEO of BMW, to whom am I speaking?
Me: Hello Mr Reithofer, this is I love you but I've chosen hooning!
NR: Ahh, yes I remember you. You had that mock-up of the 6 Series GT on Oppositelock. We've already prepared our facilities in Leipzig and are due to start production of the car in a couple of weeks, Mr. But I've Chosen Hooning.
Me: Just call me "I love you".
NR: Ok, I love you.
Me: I love you too Norbert, but I am actually not here to talk about feelings. I want to talk business with you. See, I was looking at that 6 Series GT...
NR: Which one? The 3l 640i GT xdrive M Sport Sports Utility Vehicle or the 3.5l M650d Gran Coupe GT sdrive M package version?
Me: Uhhh... all of them. See, I think they're cool and all but you know what really bothers me? They're not nichey enough!
NR: Not nichey enough? What's more nichey than the GT version of the four door Gran Coupe version of the two door coupe version of a four door sedan?
Me: Look at your computer, I just sent you an email
NR opens email, sees attachment.
NR: Dear lord, what is this?
Me: It's the wagon version of the GT version of the four door Gran Coupe version of the two door coupe version of a four door sedan.
NR:
Me: Mr Reithofer? Mr Reithofer, are you still with me?
NR: What should we call this thing of beauty?
Me: Well, it's sort of a big Touring so we could call it a Gran Touring.
NR: Like a 6 Series Gran Coupe GT? But that wouldn't make any sense in the current BMW naming scheme...
Me: speechles
NR: Psych, bro Psych! 6 Series Grand Coupe GT M-Sport Xdrive it is! We'll begin production next week!
Me: Thanks Mr Reithofer. Just one thing: Please, please don't make it weigh two tons, ok?
NR: Don't worry about it...
Me: Phew...
NR: It'll weigh three tons!
Me: Wait... what?
Then he hung up. But hey, at least we get that awesome 6 Series wagon.

I love saying that about BMW's gran coupes.

That hood is entirely too long but otherwise I'm game for a 6-series wagon.
