the mini cooper coupe! waitaminute...hmmm...

it looks okay, but my problem with the mini cooper is they are expensive for a front wheel drive car, granted they are pretty well made. but now they're taking away nearly all its cargo capacity to make it a coupe.

so it is a premium front wheel drive coupe with limited capabilities for daily use. it might be a pretty hard sell. it would compete against the mazda mx-5, and honda s2000, porsche boxter, which are all real wheel drive.

well, i think it is because they offer so many pricey options and luxury features that after i've added everything i want, it is well over 30 grand, then if i trim away the stuff i can do without, it is still pretty high.
