Higher priced gas will help sales but the car just isn't that appealing for it's cost.Especially fully equipped,IMO.

In the summer of 2008, with $4-5 gas prices, yes, that spurred a mass trade-in for more economical vehicles, but so did the Cash-For-Clunkers program last year, which had nothing to do with gas prices. That was simply the Federal Government coughing up $3500-4500 for each qualified trade-in.

Speaking of $4500 rebates...
BMW had a Econo rebate of $4500 on the '09 335d last year.
That's a heck of a car that gets a very good 23/36 MPG with twin turbo 265 HP and 425 lbs of torque.
No fuel pump or fuel injector problems too.
