I'm sure the "expanding model line-up" has something to do with it, but something tells me most normal people are interested in "expanding gas prices." I know I'm bummed out every time I fill up at $4.00 a gallon for 91, so I can't imagine how people driving something like a Lincoln Navigator must feel.
Wow, I never would have guessed that for the year the number of Hardtops are fewer than 2X the number of Countryman...
