From a guy that has ridden motorcycles for 20 years, anything is safer than that. Sign me up! Plus, after gas prices get above $4 per gallon, trust me, you'll see a LOT less soccer moms driving mega SUV's. When prices hit $3, my dad traded in his GMC Yukon for a Honda CRV!

Hopefully Mini will bring their diesel engine to the US... the european Clubman (the mini wagon) is currently getting around 65mpg!

Hmmm........ the "concept" of 100+ mpg sounds good. But this is a l-o-n-g way from "mass" production.
0-60 in 16 seconds until you flip on the a/c. Oh wait! There is none....it aint happening around here.

Lower "carbon dioxide emissions" from a carbon fiber vehicle. Does anyone else see what I see in that statement, but then consider the author of the article.

Cool... I like it & would buy one... Love the fuel mileage...
Only issue I see is the Egress... Entry system will allow lots of rain or snow into the vehicle every time you open the door...
Looks to be about the same size as my 92 Miata which I commute to work in on nicer days...

As a big fan of the original Austin Mini, I've always thought that the new incarnation was too bloated and refined looking. However, if they were to bring the Clubman D here I'd be seriously interested!

A la the BMW Isetta. The poor Isetta was just ahead of its time. Like the Tucker.

I like the entry idea.. Its innovative... Remember the 300SL.. Gullwings.. the Delorean.. Gullwings... The Bricklin - peel the plastic shards from your skin

Its ultra cool

That's not that little three-wheeled car whose front swung out to get in and out, is it?

Yup. I'd really like to get my hands on one. Seriously. Yes, I am that strange.

think Urkel mobile... that's what he drove in the show... I think one episode he got it up to "top speed" around 25MPH... funny

someone in my neighborhood has an isetta(green on white). I also saw one on a trailer (attached to a RV) last week.

There is also the Messerschmidt. I think the passengers sat in tandem. And I like my Bricklin. Those bumpers put the fear in any other sports car along with about anything else. Now if we could just get enough speed up for battering ram mode.

If you had a head-on collision in that and survived it, you'd never get out of it!
