    That is interesting, the MINI does not give up much. I wonder how in might compare to an 09 JCW versus an S. :arf:

    Good Vid. :cornut:

    I saw the VW in Germany in May....very sexy lines. Also saw a Porsche Panamera at the Munich Airport...sexy as well.

    I am not quite sure why that VW model hasn't been re introduced to US LINE up. Drove one for a few weeks while I was last in the UK, it was a brilliant car. When I get home I'll post pics, but between its performance and styling, I know it would be a hit on this side of the water. Mine was white, showed dirt too much, but I would love one slightly lowered and in black, Please.

    Performance, I still LOVE my MINI. I don't know any car with *driving on rails* sensation that I have come to love about it.
