BMW Unveils New 7-Series Sedan, Expects Profit Boost (Update1)

BMW's flagship model ``will contribute a great deal'' to achieving the automaker's 2012 profit targets, Chief Executive Officer Norbert Reithofer said at an event in Munich to introduce the car. The fifth generation of the 7-Series will go on sale this fall, with a range of new technology, including four-wheel steering, in-car Internet access, and a night-vision feature that warns drivers of people near the roadway.

The company has a program in place to cut spending by 6 billion euros ($9.4 billion), including the elimination of 8,100 jobs, to help increase its return on sales in automaking to 8 percent and 10 percent by 2012 from 6 percent in 2007. Since Munich-based BMW announced the target in September, oil futures have jumped 87 percent and steel prices have climbed 63 percent.

'New Happiness' returns to the basics

The car seems to come with the beautiful model, the perfect clothing, the glamorous cityscape, the perfect countryside, the group of uproarious friends. The beer isn't merely fermented barley - it's "the high life," somehow the golden essence of everything you want. As consumers, we're no doubt too experienced to accept such notions at face value. Still, we yearn, and so we listen. And buy. Of course, most of us are taught and believe that mere stuff won't make us happy, even if it can yield genuine pleasures. We have deeper or more profound longings than our longing for beer. We long to be loved, and to love, to know and be known, to do meaningful work, to find beauty or to achieve eternal happiness in ecstatic union with God. Even these get sucked into the economy. The Web site eHarmony markets true love.

MUMBAI: Consumers have begun opting for diesel versions of popular car models in the wake of rising fuel costs, forcing carmakers to step up production of the diesel variants in recent months.
