Various sources are reporting that a new, smaller MINI, perhaps with cues taken from the Rocketman show car, will result from a BMW/Toyota collaboration. I was reading about it in the May issue of Car and Driver. They're guesstimating height and width dimensions as about the same as the R50-R53 MINI, but about six inches shorter. Bring it in under 2400 pounds, with a drivetrain along the lines of the Fiat Abarth, and I'd buy one. I'm especially heartened by the idea that it might be a simple car. I find this to be much more exciting than any MINI since the original. http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/1501-deep-dive-the-mini-minor-one-of-five-core-cars/ |
