Anyway FAR too much of the MINIs appeal and praise in the motoring media come from the way it handles, BMW go on and on and on about this point... they wont want to ruin the car any more than we want them to, there's a lot of money riding on this little car.

Paul is spot on - I think it's important to remember the same people who created the car we all love are the ones now working on the next generation. I'm sure it'll be good!
