:lol: - who cares? many manufacturers do this, Saves money. WRX/STI/The forrester all share the same inetrior and hell very similar exteriors too.

IMO the only reason for such rapid change cycles now is to try and drive customer traffic twoards your cars when your cars aren't that exciting to begin with.

BMW? Hell MB was notorious for changing nothing substantial in there cars for years until the Japanese came along and forced their hand into becoming "stylish" and "gee whiz high tech" to command their prices after the Japanese outdid them and for less $.

BMW is built more to impress their drivers than to impress the neighbours so they aren't as far down the path of MB (yet)

If the Japanese ever get serious about out BMW'ing BMW? That's when things get interesting in the Black Forest :P
