Its doing it using the momentum it gained during the days

better era. And they can really charge a premium in a lot of
countrys like China where badges mean more than the car
itself.
$42,000 starting MSRP's, optional 6MT, a whole selection of performance options...that doesn't sound like 'catering to the masses' to me. It sounds like a car company that is catering to car buyers who have money to spend. BMW has always charged a premium. And the badge seems to attract buyers in many countries, not just China.
