Perhaps some good competition will drive MINI to do even better things in the future. 
While the Audi is slower than the MINI, I must say that Audi has always made beautiful cars.
Who knows, maybe all those non-waving MINI drivers will buy these instead and we can take back our clubhouse.

I wonder if Mini will do the plug-in hybrid thing as an option on the MC. The D model, if ever brought to the US, supposedly gets 74mpg; but BMW charges more for diesel engines, offsetting any savings (the new low-sulfur diesel costs more than hi-test in the U.S. now, too).
Apparently an all-electric Mini has been spotted, but the flexibility of a plug-in is a no-brainer.
Personally I bought an S and don't want an electric unless I can turn it off. But regen braking would be nice- Euro BMWs have that already too.
Say what you want about Audi (cough, reliability) but I highly respect that every model seems to get an S version, an RS version, and a convertible model.
