Amen. I’ve always loved the exterior of the Minis but the instrumentation has prevented me from ever seriously considering one.

They sure are some grabby brakes! I love them now, but the first time I drove the car, it felt like I would smash my face into the steering wheel at a stop sign.

It’s very avant-garde that the show itself has become an aimless, shambling mess that has nothing to say but will not die.
