I drove a supercharged mini cooper S. It'd be a fun car to rent and beat the piss out of but you'd have to PAY me to drive that thing on a daily basis. I felt like I was driving a clown car.

Actually the 2008 turbocharged MINI wagon shown is entirely new and longer then the ALL new 2007 Cooper that comes out this fall. While I agree that cosmetically there will be little significant differences between these 2 new models versus the current one, but that's the result of current one being so iconic and successful.

I have a MINI as my 3rd car that I use on weekends for drives along the beach/PCH out here in Orange County Calif. and its more fun to drive then any car I've ever driven (it's like a big go-cart).

---> <----- I came that close to getting a Mini Cooper before I got my CL. My fiance still wants one.

Lol, my buddy has a 63 mini, we drove all the way to DC from southern Va in it. Thought I'd be cramped being 6'2", but was a pretty comfortable ride.
