So BMW took a car geared for the lower price point and basically Riced it out. I'm sorry, BMW is German. The Krautted the car.

BTW... I am not disrespecting em... just think it's funny that this has 160 hp for a car that is sooooo small

Thats the whole idea. Theres nothing wrong with small cars - whats the point of pulling around 500kg of extra car if you rarely use it? A lighter car means a higher power to weight ratio.

Zero to sixty time isn't anything impressive but i would think it would feel peppy coming away from a stop.

The revolution began in 1959, it just got a little sidetracked. :)

This time it's actually underway though. The Smart might be coming over and most car companies are working on small cars. All hail the death of the SUV!

<< The maximum output rises by 48 to 163 horsepower at 6000rpm and torque reaches 155 lb-ft at 4000 rpm - not bad for a car that weighs 2300lb. >>


Does anyone else think the new Mini is a bit bloated? Drop another 200-300lbs off that sucker, then we have something akin to the original Minis
