I'm thinking about Scion myself. Not sure if xA or xB.
The later one definitely has more room but I think I'll wait and see how Honda Jazz (or Fit) will look like.

There's ****load of aftermarket parts for Scion and from what I've heard TRD is coming out with a turbo or supercharger.
I need a useful 4 door car and mini is neither.
Other than that Mini is also rated for premium fuel. Screw that. And gas mileage is no better than Scion either.
Mini Morris and new Mini have nothing in common. My opinion is it's a bad attempt to bring something good back to life.
With 7 more horses and some 100 more pounds, it's not gonna be faster, that's for sure

Mini Cooper. Those things will fly, plus I believe they're BMW. That just makes it all the more hot. Plus you can get em painted like the British flag. Very Austin Powers...

I wanted the Scion but just the other day found out that there's no immobilizer.
Have to wait for Honda Jazz...

Wether it's a Cooper or Cooper S, I'd go with the mini. I've never driven a stock mini cooper and the two that I have driven only had minor suspension work. It's quite possibly one of the most fun cars I've driven. I could toss that car around a track all day.

what do you think they put into the minis in "The Italian Job" to get them to have that kind of power?
