There is nothing as good as @live_and_let_diecast in my opinon. Seriously.

It's funny, there is a Matchbox version out there which doesn't show the engine at all. My favorite is the Hot Wheels version with FTE (Faster Than Ever) wheels.

Most recent rules are on liveandletdiecast.com!

Mid-engine (available super-charged) RWD minivan that could be bought with a manual transmission! Protege is fine, but, I mean....

I totally get the idea of what Mini is doing with this new Clubman, whose production version will probably be very close to this concept. There are owners who swear by the last Clubman, saying its hinged rear doors and third door make the small car vastly more practical.

Just wait until we get two cylinder Fiats...

I nominate you for MINI CEO, effective immediately.

Yeah, not a great guy, but also not someone to back down from a fight. Certainly no "french surrender monkey"

Yeah, people seem to forget Charlemagne, Hundred Years War, Napoleon... hell even the first World War.

Yeah, but that kerosene is going to flow straight down the storm drain and into your local river. There has to be a less toxic way to do it.

Hey, they just introduced turn signal stalks. Give them a bit of a break.

Um, no, sorry, I'm never going to do that. (Your username is not helping your cause, by the way)

Thanks for letting me know it's not real, but I'm still horribly, emotionally scarred for life.

Alright, you schooled me twice in one article...Congrats (Not being sarcastic. Seriously, props). I do wonder how much a latch and hinge would actually have added to the weight though.

Damnit I want to put my money where my internet commenting is, but I need some semblance of backseat for my kid. A hatch would be nice too, but just give me a few precious inches of backseat and you can take all my money.

I don't know what that is, but thank you for giving me nightmares for the rest of my life.

Well yeah, I beat Alfa does expect the dealers to service everything. Hopefully this will come with one of those free scheduled maintenance 3 years/36k that brands like BMW offer. Maintenance is going to be ridiculously costly and if this is anything like the Boxster you can't even access the engine unless it's on a…

Yep. I thought I was going to have to be that person. Thanks for beating me to it! :)

For me it just seems like a bad choice that was made too late in the design process. It's sealed shut? Why even bother making it look like it has a front hood/bonnet/front truck? What's up with that horizontal line across the front of the car if it's non-functional?

Sorry for the ignorance, but what the hell is this tassel thing?
