It's just a concern of mine. I know the cars don't directly compete, but since Ford/GM are killing sedans, BMW/Audi/Benz/etc have all killed the manual in the last few years to say I'm on edge is an understatement.

Sales have dropped like a stone and there have been zero official announcements of anything regarding the platform.

I honestly think, best case scenario here, is we get a 2nd generation with a 2.4 Turbo by 2021 and that's it... until govt regulations strangle and ultimately kill ICE engine development by early 2030's.

Worst case is they kill it by 2020.

In-between I think is the most financially logical l option...to pull a Nissan and move 8-10k units every year as a niche product since development costs have been recouped by now, leaving it on the vine for the next 5-6 years until it's so outdated the government won't let them sell it.
