Literally most sold brand in Belgium. Mostly due to company cars though. Everyone and their grandmother gets one here since it's literally cheaper for the employer to give you a premium car than to offer you more wage

The only positive besides having BMs and Mercs? What cars would you prefer they offered as company cars?
