I kind of like the looks of the car pictured. Retro, but new at the same time. I like it better then the drawing of the new MINI.

Ahhhh...... Jim
Are you talking about this pic? It really is an old Saab. 2 cycle ran on a gas/oil mixture. Pretty cool car though.

 

Oh. I thought that was the new one. :blush2:

Well

Saab will have to get platforms from somewhere.... And they are too small to do it on thier own. If it's not gonna be BMW, then it will be someone else.

I'd love BMW to figure out how to do some good platform sharing. Something has to give on the cost to design or build the MINIs....

Any light on why BMW doesn't want to share their six cylinder engines?

 

Brand identity..

they want to protect what makes a BMW a BMW...
