WOW!

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Interestingly, This Sube and the nearly identical Toyota (Scion) 86 are not AWD - strictly RWD.
Here is the Scion FR-S version:
I would have called it the F(RS)-86 Sabre...

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

John & Jack, I've been watching press on both these Marques/models. The Scion will probably be less powerful than the Subi BRZ and I'm hoping it will hit the 300/300 mark here in the US. Saw somewhere the BRZ STI will be a 2.5 liter turbo opposed/boxer engine. (RUMOR)
 
NOW THAT WOULD BE SWEET. Hopefully Subi will lighten up on warranty/track issue but with all the boy racer/modders it's a stretch.
 
That concept HOT WAGAN looks TRICK!!! I like the cutting edge style. Doubtfull that we'll see it.
 
There are many new or improved models being released during 2012. It's really an exciting time for cars. Also very interested in the MINI Roadster. Just looks a little cleaner with the top down than the coupe but still wish it would be powered by a BMW 2.0 Turbo! (even a 1.8 turbo, 2600 lbs., dropped an inch, with real mechanical limited slip) DREAM ON!!!
 
Cheers!
07 MCS, JIC Cross C/O, JCW BBK, Milltek exhaust, RR DP, Helix I/C, RMW tune (208.5 WHP & 238.3 WTQ)Ray's (17 lbs) and Nitto NT01 for track duty
