Minis are cute. My neighbor's teenage daughter has one.

hence my link to the consumer affairs site...the mini forum has more complaints than the C5 ever even imagined, and the longevity reviews are attrocious...I now see why you dont see very many and the ones who get one often dont have it very long, and dont trade back in for another one...

Maybe he doesn't want to drive a Daewoo?

Hey, when was at Bendix in the mid-80s we did emission testing on those. The model we had was a Jag knock-off. They were more popular in Korea at the time than the Toyota knock-off, Hyundai, which is of course, knocking off Audis now.

imo, go for the scion or suburu brz..

Don't do it, there is no comparison between the two. Beside if you work on your own stuff, the cooper (bmw) is overpriced and a bitch to work on. my buddy had to pull off the nose tho change the water pump.
If you gotta move the camaro, stay American.....

I agree that you should stay American. If you need fuel economy, pull into your local Nissan dealership and buy a 38 mpg altima.

How do you say buy American in one sentence and then say drive into a Nissan dealership the next?

There are some people that argue that "foreign" car companies have plants in the U.S., but they don't answer where that money goes.

Kind of like people that work at FOXCONN telling people in China to buy iPhones to be loyal to THEIR country.
