Stupidity clearly knows no bounds. Think of the cars you could buy for the price of a useless 'lifestyle' heap like that.
So called "Lifestyle" cars like the new VW Beetle, Smart Car and the new Fiat 500 don't handle like sports cars, consistently sell in big numbers after the first year or so, or appeal to enthusiast drivers of all ages. If you tried actually driving a MINI or the new Clubman for a while you might think differently and realize why it has been such a big success for 7 years, if only Rover could have done that on their own using the same factory, the Mini heritage and workers........ but even then would buyers have bought the car especially in other countries like the States where their reputation for building good cars was in tatters?Last edited on Friday January 18th, 2008 06:06 am by mab01 |
