My wife insists on a door for each seat so she will balk..is after me about the A3 we test drove which is good to drive. This looks pretty cool but you may lose the mini fun without gaining much in utility.. have to wait to see.

I agree about losing the Mini fun, unless its done right. But as for gaining much utility, well the future is wide open when it comes to how much utility is actually needed.

Remember that crazy time when there were extended versions of cars that some people called Wagons? That was a crazy time. Full of Windows 3.1 and VCRs. I predict a comeback in the wagon and an explosion in cars that are the like of the Matrix, the Vibe and things like this.
Gas prices are finally at a level where people are taking them into consideration (more so) when purchasing a new car. Things like this will be the future... but what do I know I thought BetaMax was the shit.



(note: that last line was a joke)
