    Yeah but if it was a MINI it would cost $60 K and only have 210 HP.:devil:

    With the AWD - tq steer is not an issue, dash layout while not revolutionary is more functional than the MINI Layout - and facilitates the replacement of the head unit with an aftermarket head unit - which the R56 and friends does not.

    I am not a fan of VW's but that is a nice car and has more power than the new GP.

    I'm really liking those exterior front views, and 270 horses mated to a DCT would be sweet if the torque steer isn't too onerous.

    That said, the dashboard layout is complete boredom.

    The R model is an AWD so hopefully no torque steer just a bit bloated. :biggrin5:
