Unless you have seen the original, you wouldn't understand.

I really can't blame you for that opinion. Have you driven one of these, or something like a Lotus Super 7 or a Lotus Elise?

Doesn't it come in a turbo version of some sort? (Or souped up) They said a Hyundai would smoke it (that's kind of sad imho)

The Mini Cooper S has a 163-horsepower supercharged engine. It weights 2678 pounds and comes only with a 6-speed manual transmission. Claimed 0-60 is 6.9 seconds.

I just saw The Bourne Identity tonight, and the Mini in that movie was awesome. My wife, who is the furthest thing from a car nut, even asked if they sold those over here. Too bad I'll never see one though...
