Not only am I wrong but I guess Adrian Van Hooydonk was also wrong in an interview I read.
I have a different view on what a flagship (or core) product is… You say it is the largest, quickest, most expensive, I say it is the one that is a best match with what the brands stands for. When I think of BMW I never think of a 760Li boat, even if it is the most expensive, the biggest, but not necessarily the best…
