    I dunno. It just never looks right to me when two guys ride together in an open car -- unless maybe it's a steam car and one guy is operating the boiler while the other steers. And both have goggles and dusty faces.

    Can't help but notice they're going for the snappily* dress guys who like to exchange looks with other snappily* dressed guys demographic.


    *Apparently that's a real word.

    "Duel" demonstrates the appropriate use of the Mini.


    "History" demonstrates the fact that chivalry is dying in the gay community.


    "Ninja Night" is just gratuitous objectification of ninjas, or, in the more PC term, violent-Japanese.


    "Best Buddies" seeks to break the barrier created by the "Bros before wheels" in modern US culture.

    I like the one about the history of interpersonal relationships of gay couples. You can totally tell which one's the butch.

    I know a girl down at Hooters once named Mini. She'd only go topless for a 5-spot. But she never did go all the way down.

    I'm still waiting for the ads that emphasize how relatively spacious they are inside. I'm thinking a typical 20-something boyfriend/girlfriend spot, moving in to a new apartment, with the tagline "Stick in her Cooper!"

    It's pretty hard for me to get excited about this car.

    Suffice to say, I'm not excited at all about it.

    BMW has been getting pretty arrogant lately. The 1-Series is completely overpriced as well. I guess they have the demand and the cojones (how does one say 'balls' in German?) to get away with it, but for how long? I've always loved German cars, but unless this trend changes before next fall my BMW is going to get traded in at a competitor.

    "There's a new rollbar that increases the drivers range of visibility through the rear portal of the drop-top."


    That's actually a pretty good improvement. I rented one of these about a month ago and couldn't believe how bad the rear visibility was. With the top up, you've got the small rear window combined with the roll bars behind the rear seats blocking your view. With the top down, you've got the top that sticks up off of the rear trunk blocking your view. At least it sounds like they've fixed one of the two...

    @Sketch242:

    Actually, with decent side mirrors and a neck that works, you don't really need a ton of rear visibility.@DoctorNine, Experimental Vehicle Type II B:


    Ya still dun't get it eh? Most people buy cars cause they're CUTE...


    I know it's cute to pretend we're all pro race drivers and automotive engineers here, but in the real world, none of that matters when you're creeping along in 30 mph commuter traffic, which is where most cars spend their time, EVEN if you flog it a little on the weekends.


    Note that none of you motorheads on here even begin to mention SAFETY in any of these cars, and my decades of experience in automotive sales and marketing have shown that you move sheet metal with LOOKS, MILEAGE, and SAFETY in that order. Performance comes much further down the food chain, because 99% of drivers can't evaluate or use performance features even if they imagine they can.

    "...The standard Openometer feature records the time spent travelling with the roof down."

    WTF? Is that something that appeals to the parade-and-pageantry demographic?
