Clarkson talks about cars with character

He doesn't mention the Mini, but everyone knows it has more character then everyone on LoonyToons combined. It is a review on the Velostar.

My son (26) and I went to look at the Veloster in the showroom. They didn't have a stick so he wasn't interested in a test drive. It also didn't have much power so he asked if they were going to have a "sport" model or add a turbo, to which the salesgirl - though very cute - had no answers.

It had a weird entry, causing me to hit my head getting in and getting out and while it looked interesting, as I said, not enough so as to cause either of us to desire a test drive. I doubt he will go back.

Ok, the MINI Coupe makes my ***** fizz. Thanks Clarkson for another saying I will use until I die.

how could she have no answers as a sales rep? the turbo, with over 200 HP is coming out this summer. It's a 2013 model year.

Like so many sales reps today they sell a Chevy, tomorrow they are selling Fords. Even some Mini Sales Advisers don't seem to know what's happening. The one that do own Mini's.
Just my 2 cents.
