It's replacing something called the Agila, which I wasn't really aware existed. It's some kind of tiny but high 5-door hatchback.

There is an online version, it's this list of requirements that you have to meet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIA_Super…

Just to make sure it had nothing whatsoever left in common with the original Mini?

The World Motor Sport Council met this week in Beijing, and one of the items that is now on the FIA's agenda is a review of how a Superlicense is issued to competitors. This comes in light of 16 year old Max Verstappen getting a Superlicense and a ride with Toro Rosso for 2015 after one season in cars. Oh, and he…

This was in Germany, I think - so it would be an Opel Omega.

This is surely the best color for a 355.

And except for the entire car being a re-engineered Fiat Ritmo.

It's no roadster - too many seats for a start. The Z4 is exactly what you describe though.

Is this black plastic on the M-badged version and painted on the non-M?

Like the coupe, the 2-Series 'vert comes in four-cylinder 228i and six-cylinder M235i forms, both turbocharged and packing 240 horsepower and 320 horsepower, respectively.

Mercs are luxury cars first, sports cars second. Electric heated everythings.

Another candidate for what's lodged up the BMW i8's rear?

Released just so Aston could get their fleet fuel efficiency numbers lower, the Cygnet was just a $51k version of a Toyota iQ. It should come as no surprise that they only managed to sell 150.

Man, you found a weird picture of it ... a post-facelift model, but one with vile plastic wheel trims. This one's much prettier:

They're about an inch too big ... tyres need a little more meat on them. Nice style though, quite reminiscent of these i3 wheels:

Yep, someone needs to photoshop a vertical gap in the middle of that XE grille ... it's a dead-ringer.

Cover up the centre of the grille and it could easily be mistaken for a BMW.

Is this just a bad angle, or is that overhang huge?

I think they probably wanted to jump on the bandwagon of having a 'corporate grille' they can put on every model. I can hardly think of a manufacturer that doesn't have one these days, other than the likes of Lamborghini who only make mid-engined cars.

So does the Saleen Four Sixteen ...
