Now I'm fairly desparate to own a new Triumph, particually if it's designed as well as the new MINI's. I'm so keen I've already saved a deposit, just in case. Does anyone know if BMW plan to make this car or is it all just a pipe dream? I really want one...

I own a '79 Spitfire and an 02 'S. My first reaction is "nooooo!". But this could be interesting. If it does take off, and it drives up the price of original Triumphs, I can sell my Spitfire for more!
