Jeez, I wish they'd make up their minds!!! Does ANYBODY know what a MINI actually IS these days? It's apparently EVERYTHING, or maybe nothing...

I really am getting a bit fed up with the whole thing. It's like kids in a sweetshop - I want THAT, no, I want THAT, no, I want THAT!

Wonder if all these 'New Kids around the block' will affect residual values of our trusty old Hatches?
So are you giving up on Mini then and trading in for something else!

I heard Corsa's are quite good!! Hee hee
