- Volkswagen is planning to re-introduce the Beetle. Rover has ordered up a new Mini. The London Times today revealed that Citroen has ordered its engineers to come up with a new 2CV. Can a new Sprite

- Frankly, I don't know if I want to see it. I don't like the new Mini, if I was into Bugs I probably wouldn't like the new Beetle (I do). I didn't like some drawings of a new big Healey that I once sa

- The beetle is a classic, people will buy them just because they're so cool. I've never understood why people like Minis. I think they look incredibly stupid. Call me crazy. No offense to mini lovers

- Personally I don't want anything named "Sprite" to be made by a ... German. That monstrosity of an excuse of a car called the "Mini for the year 2000" is enough, Mr BMW. Thank you. Evangelos 1966 Spr

- Everytime I get gas (for the car, that is) someone always tells me they either had a Sprite or someone close to them did, and that they wish they'd never sold it. People know what it is! Check out Pe

- My thoughts exactly. To think that the Mini may finally make a return to our shores only to be sold at BMW dealerships is disgusting. Goes against everything the car stands and stood for. I'm sure an

- I agree, Mini's are stupid looking (shoe box on wheels) but they handle incredibly well and are rather fast for what they are. My son owns one and I HATE working on it! Come on now, new cars, regardl
