| Read this a couple of days ago, and found it most interesting.
I am incredibly excited by the thought of a smaller Mini. I always thought the R50 was a tad too big (just a tad), and the R56 is going in the wrong direction.
I took a look at the R56 the other day and while some of it was nice......... actually, I'll stop there as I'm not about to say anything that hasn't been said on this forum countless times. Suffice to say that I don't think I could fall in love with an R56. However, a properly small Mini is very exciting news to me.
The Audi A1 looks quite interesting as well. Don't laugh, but before the Mini arrived, I was thinking of getting an Audi A2. I wanted a small car that wouldn't fall to bits. I've been looking at alternatives to the Mini, but there's just nothing that excites me out there at the moment for under £20k. So, I'll keep my Mini One for a good while yet.
