Mini Cooper AWD 4 door

Been seeing commercials for the new Mini "Cooper AWD four door, looks pretty fun. Next Evo? What does everyone else think?

There are plenty of awd 4 door sedans. Why would you think this is the next evo?

Maybe not next Evo but still cool. The Evo X is bigger and heavier. It is nice to see some other awd turbo cars. Still love my IX. I wish the ford focus rs was AWD and released in the states.

it would take bmw a while to perfect the handling of mini awd and match evo or wrx STi. mitsu and subaru have done this for years, and it has taken them awhile to be where there are at.

True. but Getrag was testing the platform to sell the system to other car lines.
