Quote: Although they will be based on MINI mechanicals, the new models will be larger and quite distinct from the donor cars.
Bigger than a Bini? Is that possible? |

I'm scared of what that might mean - Triumph's traditional market is/was the same as a 5 series BMW, and they're not about to go into competition with that. Maybe lower market to go after Commodores? far out... who won the war? |

Why doesn't BMW bring back Glas? (makers of fine cars including the Goggomobil) |

Sadly, and at the risk of this thread degenerating into the obvious, this is exactly my sentiments. |

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THAT NON CONTRIBUTION TO THE THREAD EVEN IF IT WAS WRITTEN IN CAPITALS... I really don't care what they do, if you don't like it, take out a bank loan and buy the name.. I still think BMW re invented the mini and created a whole new young generation fan base for it.. I say it every time this comes up, but do ford falcon people get upset because the new gt doesn't look like the original? Get over it |

New GT is made by the same people who made the old GT There is a progression between the models. There is a huge gap between mini's and BINI's, and also changed owners and the body shapes aren't even similar. But i'm sure you already knew that... |
