    Okay, I read the whole thing but the only thing I read was: "We are ruining the 1-series."

    Man that is just wrong. Keep your clothes on when looking at the next MINI. :postcount

    Great news, as I won't need a new one before then. :Thumbsup:

    ^ +1 Best grab an R56 before they really screw it up. Or better yet keep your R53 or R56 if you already have one.

    I'm going for one of the new ones when the time comes. They sound good to me, as long as they look like a MINI and not a BMW. :Thumbsup:

    For the, irrelavant, record :D : I'm not against the F56 platform or what they are trying to do with the MINI or even creating a BMW badged FWD car.

    I kinda gave-up on owning another MINI after the mechanical LSD went out the window as an option. So my R56 is most likely going to be my first and last MINI. *shrug*

    The 1-series is a cool car. Small, well powered, RWD car. Sad day to see them go the way of FWD.
