Not enough.

Side note to this, but Jalopnik is the only place on the internet where I will read the comments. Never see any trolling and generally everyone has a good (and hilarious)sense of humor.

Much in the same way that someone quitting cigarettes must be too poor to pay for them, right?

Build this now. And fuck electric, we need gas versions, of course. Get rid of that hideous shoe-lookin' Mini convertible and build this. Get rid of that ridiculous backwards-hat wearing monstrosity Mini coupe and build a coupe version of this. CHOP CHOP, CHAPS!!

BMW owns the rights to some of the old British Sports Car companies, right? Why not slap one of those badges on a cheapened version of this, sell it for around 25k at Mini dealers and make a buck or two off of trendier and perhaps greener FR-S and Miata customers?

Move the fin behind the driver, lose the fog lights, add a 4 banger, (with turbo) rear wheel drive and a six speed stick, and I'll take three.

They should make it with a regular engine, a 6MT, and call it the Mini Spitfire.

Looks like the new Mini had a baby with the Thunderbird:

British Flag taillights are amazing. This needs to happen.

I want to say that no designer will want to design crappy designs. Trust me, only the best of the best get to be hired as car designers. The problem lies in the decision makers. Like pretty much every industry, the ones making decisions are usually not the expert. Go figure.

Irony is didn't Kia hire an Audi designer? (Sorry too lazy to google.) I went to get my GTI serviced yesterday and bout fell asleep walking through that VW showroom. Base Jettas and Passats are vehicular ambien, and the dealership as a whole made Honda(!) across the street look like fucking Mclaren.

If you stretch the images to more realistic proportions, you get something that looks kinda like this:

Finally the 3" windows and 24" rims the midsize segment has been begging for!

With all due respect, you are wrong. Starting sentences regularly with "to be honest" is indicative of some deeper psychological problems beyond pathological lying. There's been plenty written on this, if you haven't read about it, you should. So, if you don't want your neurosis to be revealed, you should probably…

Guys, why speculate when we already have a handy chart?

All 3 drivers are dicks. 45+ minutes of harassing the Lambo driver, breaking numerous laws and endangering others over a stupid car?

So, that's the way you like to enjoy your cars. Dude is out autocrossing, actually using a sports car to do what it was designed to do.

Buy my E39 M5!
