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 have read that there will be a sportscar using the MINI floor pan and components, but that they have changed there minds about calling it Triumph. It said they still plan to release this 2 seat sportscar but badged as a MINI instead.
