The MINI will defeat the Altima easily. It just took a bit for us to get going. The real competition will be when the MINI goes up against the Z!

you have a paranoid outlook on the internet - which is fine.

However, this poll happens to be on cars.com - home of Click and Clack.
It's probably safer than google.
cookies - guess what? NAM uses them! - along with 99.9% of any commercial website you goto.

yummm.. cookies...

The cookie they are planting is not an issue. There is also not ActiveX controls on that page, which is the primary delivery mechanism for Spyware/Malware. There is also no third party cookies.

I am about as paranoid as anyone can be when it comes to cruising around the Internet. I have to put sites in my Trusted zone to be able to see anything other than basic HTML, with no input at all.

This site is safe.

No sense in belittling the guy. I think it better to be paranoid than to not be, as it pertains to the Internet.

Those Altima guys are getting on my nerves. We just dropped from 61% to 60%. It may not be over yet.

Looks like we are going off against the Z, not the 335...

Meh, if the Altima wins it will do nothing but nullify the whole stunt. MINIs rock, Altimas.....well...don't rock. Nuff said. I say this with complete objectivity and impartiality.

I am still sticking to my original bet that the final two will be Mini and BMW.

The next round will be the tough one. Notice the total votes in the top two brackets? Almost dead even. It is going to be close.

The Altima will have to win. Around these parts, you can't walk out your front door without tripping over an Altima. Even if only a fraction of those owners ever see the poll, it'll be a huge number.

You can't sling a dead cat around here without hitting an Altima.
Go Mini, be big!

MINI is not for everyone. MINI is for the ones with patience to wait.
120 days to go until delivery.

Mini 58 / Altima 42

I'm sure Mini will win. The real face-off will be tomorrow with the 350Z. I'm a little surprised that the Z is beating the 335. I Isn't 335 supposed to be as good as it gets? After the Coop of course

Well, it looks like the Nissan guys could not save the Altima. It's going to be tough in the next round against the 350Z.

The 335 should have won against the Z. It is the better car, but apparently being better means diddly-squat.

This is kind of fun. Hehe.

I bet people who vote against the Mini also kick cats, toss random glass bottles out of their car window on the road, molest mailboxes, have a car or two on bricks in their front yard, and get all dressed up for a night at the local Whataburger.

How can anyone not like the Mini?
