Rauno Aaltonen was on hand, along with a Mini similar to the one from his 1967 Monte Carlo win,*to introduce the third Generation JCW. Featuring the most powerful engine to ever grace the engine bay of a MINI Cooper, the new MINI will cost you $30,600 (plus an $850 destination fee) when it goes on […] More...
Sorry, MINI, but the looks and slightly warmed up engine of the new JCW will have me looking at comparably priced and better-equipped GTIs, Focus RSs and WRXs when it's time to replace my 2nd Gen. JCW Hardtop. :frown2:
Seems "Fishy" :lol: I will not buy another MINI and I will keep my R53 and buy another car if I need one.
Glad to see someone is going to race one of those. That being said it sure is not a looker. I'm looking at a GTI for my next MINI too.
I drove one a couple of weeks ago. A GTI SE with the performance package, adjustable shocks and lighting package costs less than a base 2015 MINI JCW - especially when you know that SCCA members pay $500 under invoice on the GTI. (You can join for around $75-$100; let's see, spend $100 to save $2,000?) I'm waiting for the 2016 this summer, which will have the improved dash.
Interesting, the Audi S3 is looking pretty good right now. If they would do a RS3 Avant style wagon, I would be in. Dave.0 "Fishy", :lol:
Audi is to replace the A4, A6 and A8 with a single model called the Audi A which boasts a telescopic central section ‘like an accordion’. At the time of purchase, the buyer simply selects how long they would like their Audi to be and the dealer can adjust it to suit. ‘Merging the A4, A6 and A8 is made possible only by next generation platform sharing,’ said an insider. ‘And because they all look the same anyway.’
What will Audi do with all the boxes of chrome numbers 0-9 in the same font that they use for appropriately labeling their models so you can tell them apart? :confused5:
Send em over to BMW for stuff like the brand new iXZ5d hybrid crossover side-wheel-drive activity something.
Hmm... Sounds similar to the concrete stretcher I use at work... On another note, when I was thinking of getting rid of the Jeep, it was between the 2015 Coutryman, and a used 2009 Subi STi... I liked the STi, but couldn't get past the interior ugliness, and the feel of the car wouldn't make for a good daily With the amount of miles I put on a car in a year.
Thank you for the heads up. I dropped my Secret Car Club of America membership at the point I no longer needed my competition license. That there is a nice $aving.
