so let me get this straight, they replaced the touring with the GT, and the GT outsells the touring, inspite of the looks.
then they decide to stop the GT and bring back the touring??
what am i missing??

Just glad I live in Europe!

I addressed the alleged sales numbers in my earlier post (#15) but I'll repost it below. I'm 95% sure this is what they mean which, if true, means they're trying to kid themselves into making the 5GT sound like it's not as awful as it really is:

That's very misleading because it's expected that sales for a model that's reaching the end of its lifespan are going to be lackluster.
