They probably won't sell a ton, but will do well with that demographic. It's basically the Japanese version of the "personal luxury couple" of the olden days.
They are lucky the 230i isn't exactly a looker because for a couple grand more you get significantly more performance, AWD, still good MPG, more tech...
