Default Mini's making a roadster :thumbsup:

Mini currently has plans for a concept roadster that will likely see production at some point in the next couple years. I like it. A mini cooper is one of very few FWD cars I'd love to own.

I thought it might be appropriate to toss the Mini news in the BMW subforum seeing as BMW owns Mini =p

I always thought they were too small until I drove one a couple of months ago. There was lots of room in the interior. The car handled fairly well even with the tiny stock tires. It accelerated very well with the 6 speed manual transmission. I liked it.

Those look sweet, but if they're still Wrong Wheel Drive... I mean FWD, no interest here...
