That's awesome. I still get into the merits of the car with buddies, parents, work peers, etc. Nice to have some credible backing.

Yeah, Mark, I thought the same thing. But it appears they picked one in each of several classes of vehicles.

The more positive publicity MINI gets, the better the resale value.

It was interesting that the Corvette made the list, but did y'all happen to notice what it was labeled best at though????
The article named it as the "Best for a midlife crisis" car.

The MINI was under the "Best in a small package" category.

No offense folks, but if someone said here take this new MINI or here take this new Corvette, only catch is you can't sell it, you have to drive it for a year first. Easy choice, be my first bow-tie since the seventies, and that bow tie was around my neck! as long as it's a stick! (car, not the tie)

Not surprising -- you generally have to go into six figures for comparable performance. . . although the upcoming GTR will change that.
